Calling Us Home . . .
A Lenten Sermon Series on 1 Peter
Dr. Dale A. Meyer
“Here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come” (Hebrews 13:14). In Lent and Easter we invite worshippers to the eternal truths that guide our pilgrim-age toward eternity.
The short First Epistle of Peter, only 105 verses, is rich with guidance and encourage-ment for living in a post-church and increasingly secular society. Five times Peter tells the scattered congregations of Asia Minor that they are called by God and it’s those passages that serve as the starting point for the midweek and Holy Week services during Lent.

A meal will be served each evening starting at 5:30 p.m. with worship to follow at 7 p.m. The worship will be in English but everyone is welcome. It would be great if everyone would read the Book of Peter before Lent in preparation for the message series.
