Strengthen Your Relationship

We enter the season of Lent with a Mardi Gras Reflection service and luncheon.  As attendees enter the Mardi Gras Jazz Luncheon & Lenten Reflection on Sunday, March 3rd, they will be welcomed by the award winning Desert Mountain High School Jazz band.  The attendees will begin the Lenten Reflection by literally donning a mask.  This mask will represent the figurative mask that people wear.  . Pastor David Wasson will offer up a Lenten Reflection that will suggest that everyone take off their masks.  These are the figurative masks of self-deception, self-control, as well as the literal masks people are wearing. The reflective prayer will ask people to lay down the things that keep them from connecting to God.
 
After the opening reflection the attendees will enjoy jazz music from the DMHS jazz band and partake in a traditional New Orleans’s meal of gumbo, rice, French bread, salad and the meal will end with King’s cake shipped direct from Haydel’s Bakery in New Orleans, Louisiana.

 Lent is a season when we can focus on our relationship with God.  We often choose to give up something, strengthen our relationship with the Lord or volunteer and give of ourselves for others.

We also invite the community to our Ash Wednesday service. 
Lent officially begins on Ash Wednesday,  March 6th, 2019. NSUMC will begin the season with a traditional service including the imposition of ashes at 7:00 p.m. 

As the Lent season continues NSUMC will also offer multiple services during Holy Week.

Children are invited to join in the palm processional as the service begins.  Both services will also include music from the Chancel Choir.   Our AngleiX, KIds of Grace and Cherub Choirs will perform at the 10:00 am service.
