Lenten Season at Wesley United Methodist

The Lenten Season is well underway, and like many of our sister faith organizations, Wesley United Methodist is living in a period of longful anticipation. Lent is a season of forty days, not counting Sundays, which began on Ash Wednesday and will end on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter. We set this time apart to focus on our relationship with God, with the hope of growing more in love with God and extending ourselves, with the hope of growing more in love with our neighbors and the world around us.

In addition to the regular 10:00 AM Sunday service and The Table (a potluck and faith gathering) on the first and third Wednesdays of the month at 5:30 PM, there are two Lent specific programs. On Mondays at 3:00 PM, Reverend Daphne Johnson, senior pastor, hosts a book group called “Entering the Passion of Jesus.” Tuesdays at 2:00 PM is a watch party and discussion group for “The Chosen,” the first ever multi-season series about the life of Christ. Both groups are free, open to all, and can be joined at any time. More information can be found at wesleymarco.org/groups.

There will be a special Palm Sunday Service on Sunday, April 10th at 10:00 AM. During Holy Week there will be a service on Holy Thursday, April 14th, and Good Friday, April 15th at 7:00 PM. Easter Sunday service will be on April 17th at 10:00 AM followed by a free Easter Egg Hunt on the front lawn.
