Lent – Midweek # 2 February 21, 2024

A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, welcome home. We especially welcome to our house of 
worship our guests who have joined us today. We pray you will be strengthened by the good news 
about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through Jesus.
We say with the Psalmist, whether here on campus or viewing online, “I rejoiced with those who said to me, 
‘Let us go to the house of the LORD’” (Psalm 122:1).
May the Lord continue to help us grow in His grace and knowledge as we hear, speak, and sing His 
holy Word.

Worship Focus: When you think of a love story, does your mind right away go to the greatest 
love story of all time … that being the one God wrote and acted on? The church Season of Lent 
provides the perfect setting to see and hear God’s love for you, even if you have heard it countless 
times. The focus during Lent is not on what we have to do but on what God already has done for 
us, and how He keeps it in front of us all our days on this side of heaven. In response, the Holy 
Spirit prompts us and directs us on how to show our love for God. We can rightly say, then, that
what is before us in no ordinary love story.

Presiding Minister: Pastor Jonathan Kolander

Accompanist: Rosemarie Boushek
