"Opening Doors" Lenten Sermon Series
This Lenten season, let’s GROW together in how Jesus uses COS to open doors of hope:
- G—Group. Join a discussion group that will meet for just five sessions (once per week during our five weeks of Lent) and enjoy the fellowship of a 30-minute exchange of ideas and hopes.
- R—Read. Read the short but helpful weekly chapter of The Invitational Christian. Books are available at the front office desk.
- O—Opportunity. As we explored recently, Jesus calls us to let our lights shine for the benefit of the world—and ourselves. This is a huge opportunity for COS and for each of us to grow.
- W—Worship. Each Sunday, our sermons and services will challenge us about God’s hope for us. So, please prioritize your presence in Sunday worship, and even the Wednesday 6:30pm devotionals if you’d like.
