2025 Lenten Journey Schedule
This season of Lent, we will walk with Jesus on his last journey on the road from a Samaritan Village to Jericho, Bethany, and on to Jerusalem and the cross. Along the way we will encounter rejection, the healing of sight, a lonely man restored to faith and community, sisters grieving, and the raising of a man to new life from his burial tomb.
This journey will be one of hope, healing and leaning into God’s promised future, beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 5, at 7:30 p.m. in the sanctuary at Rollag Lutheran. No Meal
Supper will begin at 6:30, with worship at 7:30 on the following dates and locations:
· Gran - March 12: Response to Rejection (Luke 9:51-62)
· Park - March 19: Healing of Sight (Luke 18:35-43)
· Rollag - March 26: Restoring the Lonely (Luke 19:1-10)
· Gran - April 2: Unbinding and Letting Go (John 11:17-44)
· Park - April 9: Fragrant Act of Loving Devotion (John 12:1-19)
Our 8th and 9th grade confirmands will help lead these worship services, including the sharing of their faith statements. Along with the sharing of faith, there will be an opportunity for handwritten prayers to be folded and placed in the Prayers of the Heart Jar. These prayers will not be read by anyone, but they will be lifted as incense (Psalm 141:2: "May my prayer be set before you like incense.") as they are burned in the firepit outside the church building at the close of the Maundy Thursday service on April 17 at Rollag.

Catalyst Question
What’s something old that you’ve noticed becoming popular again? How does that make you feel?
Something Old and Something New
There’s an old English rhyme that goes, “something old and something new, something borrowed and something blue, and a sixpence in your shoe.” It describes a tradition for brides to wear something of each category on their wedding day. To this day, many weddings include parts of the tradition, though finding a sixpence is much more difficult in the 21st century.
Only a month into the new year, there’s much in the news that appears both old and new all at the same time. The 45th president is now the 47th president. Multiple countries and companies are preparing for space travel, with hopes to return people to the moon within just a few years. Even flare leg jeans are back in style.
In Sunday’s Gospel reading from Luke 4:14-21, Jesus reads a few verses from Isaiah that declare “the year of the Lord’s favor.” This sounds new and exciting! Yet, it comes from a prophet from hundreds of years before. It’s an ancient promise that’s reaffirmed for present listeners. In that way, it is both old and new.
Many people become obsessed with new things. Perhaps this is because they believe new things will lead to different results. What’s odd about that is that, to use biblical language, there’s almost nothing new under the sun. What feels new to some is quite old to others.
But with Jesus, it is still very different from the old and new that we see in politics, in science, or in style. Why is that? Because, in Jesus, the promise fulfilled. What’s old is made new in Jesus in ways that no politician, scientist, or influencer can match. Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us, and it is only God’s newness that brings forgiveness of sin and abundant life. Jesus is so much more than an old trend returning. We owe ultimate allegiance not to political offices, scientific advancements, or cultural trends. We owe it the one in whom all things are always being made new, the only one who keeps all promises: Jesus.
Ask Yourself
What are the things–or who are the people–that ask for your ultimate allegiance in ways that draw your devotion away from Jesus?
What are the ways that Jesus has brought renewal into your life.
