The Sundays during the season of Lent are not “of Lent” but “in Lent.” So the Sundays retain an Easter tone and may less solemn than the mid-week services that congregations typically offer. The observance of Lent are concrete reminders of the greater solemnity of the season, yet Lutherans emphasize the Gospel of Christ even to this penitential season.

Mid-week Lenten services at Newport Lutheran Church are on Thursdays at 12:00 noon with a soup and sandwich lunch followed by a short devotion. The dates for these services are March 6; March 20; and April 3.

Newport will have a Maundy Thursday service on April 17 at 7:00 pm.

Easter Sunday morning service will be at 9:00 am.
