New Hanover Evangelical Lutheran Church
Hearing, Embracing, and Sharing God's Word Through Worship, Fellowship, and Outreach
Welcome to New Hanover Evangelical Lutheran Church!
During Lent we journey with all those around the world who will be baptized at the Easter Vigil. In today’s gospel Jesus tells Nicodemus that he must be born of water and Spirit. At the font we are given a new birth as children of God. As God made a covenant with Abraham, in baptism God promises to raise us up with Christ to new life. From worship we are sent forth to proclaim God’s love for all the world.

So happy we got in worship today as well as the New Hanover Sunshine Learning Center dedication, our congregational meeting and luncheon. A big shout out to our fellowship team for a great lunch! All of that being said, the church office will be closed due to weather tomorrow. Feel free to reach out to Vicar Nikki and the office via email as they will be working at home! Stay safe!

Welcome to New Hanover Evangelical Lutheran Church!
Today's gospel tells of Jesus’ temptation in the desert. His forty-day fast becomes the basis of our Lenten pilgrimage. In the early church Lent was a time of intense preparation for those to be baptized at the Easter Vigil. This catechetical focus on the meaning of faith is at the heart of our Lenten journey to the baptismal waters of Easter. Hungry for God’s mercy, we receive the bread of life to nourish us for the days ahead.
