A prayer for all times, and especially during Lent, is “Kyrie eleison,” (Lord, have mercy.) Voces8 sings the Kyrie from ‘Mass in E flat’ by Josef Rheinberger.
Lent is a season of deep reflection—a time to walk with Jesus toward the cross, to open our hearts to God’s presence, and to seek justice and renewal in our lives and in the world. This year, as we enter this sacred time, we invite you to engage with a powerful new Lenten devotional resource: Sumud: A Lenten Journey of Hope and Resilience.
For 50 years we have joined together as Lutherans to address the root causes of hunger and poverty around the world through ELCA World Hunger. As we reflect on our last 50 years of ministry together, we know God calls us to respond to the needs of the world now more than ever. Will you join us?
We understand the Christian as both saint and sinner. We confess that we are “by nature sinful and unclean and cannot free ourselves”. The Word and Sacraments are seen as gifts of God that renew and forgive us on our faith journey and continue to empower us to do the work of Christ in the world. See more. . .
No matter your age or gender, our liturgical form of worship invites you to participate in the worship of our Lord and Savior. Join in song and prayer. Those baptized Christians who trust in our Lord’s promise to be truly present as the body and blood in the forms of bread and wine are welcome to receive Holy Communion. See more. . .
