Join us this Friday, April 7 for Good Friday Service @ 6:30 pm Lent at Crosstown: Journey to the Cross

““The punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5). In our “Immerse Prophets” series, we visited these words and pondered their significance. Now, as we traverse the path to Jesus’ cross, we can view these words in a fresh light. As a unique highlight of our journey, we’ll arrive on Good Friday by finding ourselves in a mirrored Cross.

Our Lead Pastor and his beloved are departing on April 10 for a trip to Ireland and the United Kingdom. The Jacobi’s are joining a “Pilgrim Pathways” journey led by Dr. Dan (retired from Bethel University) & Pastor Judie Ritchie (John’s Spiritual Director). Marna & Pastor John are viewing this adventure as an opportunity to discover God’s presence as they visit sites both historical and sacred. The accompanying picture is the Holy Island of Lindisfarne in Scotland.
