Midweek Lenten Worship

We will have midweek Lent services on Wednesdays at 3:30 PM, from March 5 - April 9. There will be a free supper meal in the Fellowship Hall following the service. (A freewill offering is welcome to help offset the cost of the meal.) If you can't make the 3:30 service we have, Zion Lutheran Church (1610 Main Street) in Crete has a service at 7:00 PM you are welcome to attend.

For the Wednesdays in Lent, we’ll be looking at “Psalms of the Passion.” The Psalms in the Bible are filled with words that touch the heart, expressing emotions like no other part of the Bible. And almost hidden in those words are prophecies or foreshadows of Christ’s passion. For instance did you know that when Jesus said, “into your hands I commit my spirit,” he was quoting a Psalm? For the midweek services of Lent we’ll be looking at “Psalms of the Passion.”

Pastors from area WELS churches will participate in sharing the message of this sermon series:

  • March 5 (Ash Wednesday) — Psalm 51 (Pastor Italiano)

  • March 12 — Psalm 69 (Pastor Micheel)

  • March 19 — Psalm 109 (Pastor Schneider)

  • March 26 — Psalm 34 (Pastor Italiano)

  • April 2 — Psalm 31 (Pastor Busch)

  • April 9 — Psalm 35 (Pastor Jeske)
