First Sunday in Lent – “The Question in the Garden”
Genesis 2:15–17; 3:1–7

Preacher: Rev. Audrey C. Price, Ph.D.


Lent begins in the garden.

In this powerful text, we explore what sin truly is—not just breaking a rule, but a rupture in trust with God. How did sin enter the human story? How does it still enter our lives today through doubt, distortion, and the desire to control? And what are its consequences—not only for individuals, but for the whole community?

Join us as we begin the Lenten journey by telling the truth about sin, grace, and the God who seeks us even when we hide.

Come and begin the holy work of returning.

All are welcome. Come as you are. Come ready to worship.

Join us for in person worship at 10:00 am
