Join Us for Lenten Soup Suppers and Services
We are excited to bring back our soup substance and Service this year! Join us on Wednesdays during Lent for a light supper of soup, bread and of course some desserts at 5:45pm followed by the Holden Service at 6:30pm.
WEDNESDAY EVENINGS
LENTEN HOLDEN SERVICES 6:30pm
Seminarian and CTS member Steve Smart will lead us through a midweek Lenten Series called A Holy Pause, which uses adapted materials from Kate Bowler’s Bless The Lent We Actually Have series. Within the Holden Evening Prayer service a short lesson will be shared along with a prompt for some small group table conversation.
A Holy Pause
- March 1: Blessed Are The Fragile
- March 8: Blessed Are The Imperfect
- March 15: Blessed Are The Lonely

- March 29: Blessed Are Those Who Hope Still
Let us gather together to take a holy pause from our busy lives to walk with Jesus, and He with us, toward the cross.

THERE ARE A MILLION REASONS NOT TO GO TO CHURCH
It's one more thing to add to an already overloaded schedule. "Christians" in the news aren't always the people you want to associate with. Memories of being bored or uncomfortable in the church of your youth. Church people can be really cliquey and judgmental. We get it.
At Christ the Servant, we try to do better. Let's be honest: as individuals and a congregation, we all have a way to go in learning to be the kinds of disciples Jesus calls us to be. But we are on a journey: We strive to truly welcome all people - not with judgmental distance or inauthentic smothering, but with an earnest invitation to discover together what it means to be loved back to life by Jesus Christ.

CREATED TO WORSHIP
We gather for worship, not to be entertained, but to be fed by the Living Christ in Water, Wine, Wheat, and Word. We seek to grow in our faith and discipleship. And we are privileged to have God give our lives meaning and purpose as forgiven people sent into the world to serve strangers and friends alike.
If church has left a bad taste in your mouth, you're not alone. Most of us have been there, too. But we remain a group of broken people seeking wholeness and purpose that we can't find anywhere other than the Table of Grace. Stop by sometime; taste and see that God is not through with you yet.
