We will continue the season of Lent with 12:15 pm midweek worship services here at HTLC which will be live-streamed and recorded for later access via our website and Facebook page. We will be looking at the book of Lamentations.Â
Our evening services will be held at Our Savior Lutheran Church weekly beginning February 25 at 6 pm. This service will start with dinner discussion in the Narthex before moving into the sanctuary for Holden Evening Prayer. Discussion will focus on "Conversations with Jesus."Â
Please sign up HERE to help with providing soups. We will need two soups each week, prepared in a crockpot. There is a preference for at least one soup to be broth based and dairy-free. Printed sign-ups will also be available.
As we begin our season of Lent, the day of Easter approaches, which means it is time to purchase Easter flowers. There is a choice of lilies, purple hyacinths, and mixed tulips.

Since the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of broadcast journalist Savannah Guthrie, the nation has shared Savannah's anguish.
