Rule of Life this Sunday

February 14, 2026 by edhird Leave a comment

This Sunday we begin a series of sermons based on “A Rule Of Life.” Written in the 1540s the Rule of Life says: “Every Christian man or woman should from time to time frame for themselves a RULE OF LIFE in accordance with the precepts of the Gospel and the faith and order of the Church.” This is a great spiritual exercise during the Lenten season as we prepare for Easter. This Sunday the Rev. Dr. Ed Hird begins our Lenten preaching series with a sermon entitled: “Fleeing From His Real Presence ” (Psalm 139:1–12) And… don’t forget, we formally start our Lenten season next Wednesday with our Ash Wednesday service, a combined service with the White Rock Lutheran Church. White Rock Lutheran’s pastor Norm Miller will preach a sermon entitled “It’s All About Relationships” (Joel 2:12–17).

So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. Here’s the announcement:
