Join us for worship during this Lenten season. We will be focusing on the Psalm of Ascent, which are Psalm 120-134, with our series "Songs for the Journey."

If you look in your Bible, you'll see that the superscription at the top of each psalm says "A song of ascent." It's thought that this is a collection of psalms which the Hebrew faithful would recite on their way UP to Jerusalem for one of the annual festivals. We will use these Psalms in our own journey towards the events of Good Friday and Easter, using one of these psalms each week, paired with a New Testament passage about Jesus.
