Lent 2
Date: February 28, 2010
Theme: Access to God Through His Grace in Christ – Romans 5:1-8 (Pastor John Hein)
At our last Council meeting, Grace accepted the invitation to host a vicar this coming August through September. The vicar assigned to us is Seminarian David Pfeiffer, son of ILC President, John Pfeiffer. We will be working out some of the arrangements of his vicarage in the coming weeks. David is in his second year at Immanuel Lutheran Seminary in Eau Claire, WI. He is married to Deana nee Johannes. They have two children, Samuel (2) and Joshua (8 months). We pray that David’s vicarage at Grace will be a mutual blessing!
Our midweek Lenten services will begin next Wednesday, February 17. There will be six services at 7 pm, preceded by the Lenten soup suppers at 6 pm. The services will focus on the profound love demonstrated by our Savior through His sufferings and death.
