WELCOME
Our sincere prayer and hope is that you will have an opportunity to connect with God and with His people today at Karcher Church. Our Welcome & Information Center is located in the foyer and is the best place to find answers to your questions about Karcher Church. Please let the Welcome Center know this is your first visit to Karcher to receive a gift we have prepared for you.
TODAY’S SERMON We welcome Pastor Mark back to the pulpit today. His message is “Take Up Your Cross” “And we’re walking…”
LENT The season of Lent arrived on March 6 this year with Ash Wednesday. Lent runs for forty days, (not counting Sundays), each year. At Karcher Church we celebrate Lent with a weekly Sunday dinner gathering at 6:00 in the Family Life Center. We will focus on Scriptures pertaining to our spiritual growth and direction through the season. Lent concludes on Easter Sunday! We hope you will make Lent a priority this year. Our first Lent Dinner will be TONIGHT at 6 pm. Dr. Stephen Borger will be speaking on the subject of “Eucharist”.
