Do you ever wish you could reboot your life like you reboot your computer? What has gone wrong in your life that you wish you could go back and undo? The season of Lent is traditionally a season of repentance - a time to reflect on what has gone wrong in our lives and to reboot with the only One who can give us a truly fresh start, Jesus Christ. Our Lenten series this year will look at some of life’s most common regrets and discuss how repentance can bring forgiveness, hope, and comfort in Christ. The Lenten Season begins Ash Wednesday, February 10. We will have a dinner at 6:00 p.m. and Worship Service at 7:00
