Sunday, February 1

We have been exploring what it means to follow Jesus as people of the "The Way". To truly understand what it means to live and act in the Jesus "Way", we must be drawn to Jesus' teachings. Famed martyr and German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote his doctoral dissertation on "The Sermon on the Mount" precisely because it is the longest and highest ethical teaching the gospel writers record for us. This Sunday we will read, study, and reflect on the first section of this 'sermon' (Matthew 5:1-12). We will learn what the word "blessed" means as Jesus uses this word multiple times. In doing so we will discover that Jesus is giving us 'sign-posts' to look for and recognize as people of the Way. Please join us this Sunday as we worship God, exalt Christ, and seek the Holy Spirit as a congregation striving to practice the "Way".

Ash Wednesday, February 18th marks the beginning of Lent—a season of reflection, confession, repentance, and spiritual preparation for Easter. This year, in addition to our 6:30pm Ash Wednesday service, North Point will offer a “drive‑thru” imposition of ashes from 11am to 2pm, allowing you to receive this meaningful blessing without leaving your car. If you’re unable to join us in the evening, we warmly encourage you to come by during the day and begin the Lenten journey with us. If you are interested in volunteering to administer ashes from 11am to 2pm, please email Anna.
