Lent 1

February 22nd, 2026

Still Salty. Still Shining.

  • How faith shows up in the small things
  • Why compassion matters, even when it’s riskey
  • What it means to trust God when it takes time
  • How gratitude can transform us
  • Why prayer is worth holding onto

From Pastor TJ’s sermon titled “Baptism 101”.

That’s baptism. It has nothing to do with a choice we make or a prayer we say, and everything to do with God’s promise(s) to us.”

– Pastor TJ Lynch
