Preparing for Lent, Membership Class
Dear Family of God,
“What is truth?”
In the final hours of Jesus we hear Pilate ask Jesus this question (John 18:38). And we see the Jewish leaders twist the truth to get rid of Jesus and we see Peter deny the truth to escape the pain of knowing Jesus. But Jesus does not hide, twist or deny the truth. Because He is “the way, the TRUTH, and the life” (John 14:6). And his “truth will set you free” (John 8:32).
A Prayer
Deception lies all around,
Blinding us to Your holy ground.
May our ears hear Your sound,
As we rest in being found.
A Blessing
“As you go about your day, may His truth guide you in what you think, how you process all that is happening, how you plan what is next. Truth is with you. And the truth will set you free.”

Preparing for Lent
“Lent” is the season the church spends focused on the time before Jesus’ death. It is a season we are invited to practice “dying to ourselves” by giving up something and replacing it with prayer or worship.
We begin our Lenten Season with our Ash Wednesday Service at 7PM on March 2 at our Stillmeadow Lane Campus. We will conclude our Lenten Season with Prayer Week Services on April 11-15.
Once again, Stillmeadow Nazarenes have worked together to produce a Lenten Devotional Guide that you can use for personal time with Jesus. Each Sunday features a “Family Guide” that households can use together. You can pick up a guide on Sunday March 6 or sign up to get the daily devos in your inbox at the button below.
