“The Soldiers”

 

We continue our Lenten journey at the cross reflecting the witnesses’ stories at Jesus’ crucifixion.  These witnesses help us spend time with Jesus’ suffering on the cross.  This Sunday, we hear slightly different stories of the soldiers from each gospel.  What was their witness?  I wonder how their job impacted their lives.  One of the soldiers, Centurion, at the cross claims, “Truly, this was the Son of God!”

Hearing their witnesses and experience of Jesus’ crucifixion invite us not only to remember Jesus’ sacrificial love on the cross but invite us to pick up the stories ourselves and allow it to shape us into the future.  Come, friends, join us!  We invite you to be witness of the Cross.

Join us in person or via Zoom, Facebook or YouTube Live.

Sunday service begins at 10:15AM.
