THE FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT - 2/22/2026
Each year on the first Sunday in Lent, we hear about Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness, and we pray that we may be able to resist the temptations that come to us here and now. Come to worship, to receive the Spirit’s strength to live in light of your baptism.

The nineteenth-century French artist James Tissot, after a religious reawakening, dedicated his last 17 years to painting the Bible. He journeyed to the Middle East to learn about the land and study its inhabitants, to portray biblical scenes with accuracy. Some of his 365 biblical illustrations are quite striking, including his depiction of the angels' ministration after the temptation of Christ.
