Pastor's Letter
Dear Friends,
This year for our mid-week services during Lent we are going to be doing a study called God’s Appointed Times. In the 23rd chapter of the Book of Leviticus seven festivals are laid out to mark the spiritual year of the Jewish people. There were seven times God called the people to gather to remember, teach and celebrate what God had already done for the people and what God would do for them. These seven festivals have been celebrated by the people down through the ages. They are also seven festivals that we are privileged to see fulfilled in Jesus.
We will look at the festivals of unleavened bread and first fruits, the festival of Pentecost, and the fall festivals of Rosh Hashanah, Tabernacles, and Yom Kippur. On Wednesday March 17th we will have the privilege of hosting a speaker from Jews for Jesus who will do a presentation called Jesus in the Passover. Perhaps you have heard of some of those festivals. For thousands of years God’s people have been celebrated these appointed times. As we spend this time I hope you will come to see them as part of God’s unfolding plan for our world. That in them you will see them each brought into focus in the person, the death and the resurrection of Jesus. Lent begins with Ash Wednesday worship on February 17th. I hope you will take the time to join us.
God bless,
Pastor Henderson
