In our Ash Wednesday Service last week, we focused on Jesus’ question, “Who do you say I am?”

In our upcoming Wednesday Evening Lenten Services, we will now focus on how Jesus himself answered that question.  The Gospel of John includes several verses known as Jesus’ “I Am” Statements, in which Jesus helps us better understand who He is and the blessings we have in Him.

Our services will focus on these statements from Jesus:

·        Wed., March 1 at 7 PM: “I Am the Light of the World”

·        Wed., March 8 at 7 PM: “I Am the Bread of Life”

·        Wed., March 15 at 7 PM: “I Am the Good Shepherd” and “I Am the Door of the Sheep”

·        Wed., March 22 at 7 PM: “I Am the Way and the Truth and the Life”

·        Wed., March 29 at 7 PM:  “Before Abraham Was, I Am”

Reflections on these beloved passages are also included in this year’s devotional booklet, “Witnesses to Christ,” in which Dr. Reed Lessing paints a stunning portrait of Jesus through the eyes of the witnesses of His Passion in the Gospel of John.
