Lenten Mid-Week Worship

All Saints Lutheran Church will not offer the five Mid-Week Worship Services or suppers during the season of Lent. In the publications, there will be a “devotion for the week” and/or “worship service” for those who wish to do something on their own.

The worship planning team encourages you to pick up a Lenten 2025 Study to do on your own during the season of Lent.
