New Morning Star Baptist Church

From the Desk of Pastor Sadler...

The season of Lent allows Christians to focus on a time of fasting, prayer, repentance, and self-reflection. It also helps us to find a way to move us from ourselves, others, and the turbulence of everyday life. During this period, I encourage you to join me and our congregation in the practice of self-denial as we journey to the Passion Week.

The model used by Jesus in Luke chapter 4 verses 1-4 is still relevant today as we do as he did using scriptures and prayers for our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing.

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the devil said unto him, if thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.  And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God,” (KJV).

Join us during the Passion Week Celebration of the triumph-full entry into Jerusalem which begins Palm Sunday April 2nd, 2023. This celebration will mark the beginning of our church’s transition into full in-person worship and activities. The following week is our Resurrection Sunday Celebration which will be held April 9that 10 am, followed by the drama “Crowns,” performed by the women of the church at 1 pm.
