Ash Wednesday and Mid-Week Services

Our Savior Lutheran Church will be utilizing the series, "Sacred Head Now Wounded" as published by Concordia Publishing House. This material does have copyright protection so it cannot be reproduced here.

This series is a wonderful exposition focusing upon the centricity of all that Jesus Christ has done for us. The theme of this series comes from the first verse of hymn “O Sacred Head Now Wounded” (Lutheran Service Book #450) which reflects Christ as the source of forgiveness and the eternal comfort His death and resurrection offers to us…

"O sacred Head, now wounded,
With grief and shame weighed down
Now scornfully surrounded
With thorns, thine only crown.
O sacred Head , what glory,
What bliss, till now was Thine!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I joy to call Thee mine."(v. 1)

I pray that you will find this series points to Christ in this Lenten season and beyond. Because of the price Jesus Christ paid on the cross for us, we humbly and freely receive the grace of God through the forgiveness of our sins.

Please join us at Our Savior Lutheran Church for our Lenten and Holy Week Services...
