Unbinding Your Heart

The church year soon enters the time of Lent, the 40 day period (excluding Sundays) prior to Easter. The Lenten season is often considered a time for reflection and study, a time to open our hearts to God so that God’s grace can pour in to redeem and renew. Our faith is strengthened and we receive the courage to live boldly as followers of Jesus Christ.

The theme for Medina United Church of Christ during Lent is “Unbinding Your Heart.” Through 40 days of Prayer and Faith Sharing, we will understand more fully the hope that lies within us in Jesus Christ and how we might share that hope with others. Our prayer is that our lives and ministry might be transformed according to the amazing grace of God.

Join us on Wednesday evenings to enter a journey of discovery. We gather at 6:15 p.m. for dinner in our Fellowship Hall. At 7:00 p.m. we invite God to speak to us through study, discussion and prayer.

Please come and worship with us on the northeast corner of the square. We offer three unique services each Sunday morning – Chapel, Gathering Praise and Sanctuary. Experience hope and new life amidst a joyful community of faith. May you know “No matter where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here at Medina United Church of Christ!” God’s love ministers to us all.

May God give you strength and courage this day and every day.

Neal R. Sadler, Senior Pastor
