✝ Lenten & Holy Week 2026
Theme: “God With Us in Our Fragility.” Though we are dust, He does not abandon us. In our weakness, in our sin, and even in our lowest and most challenging moments, Christ remains Emmanuel — God with us. This Lent, we gather to remember that mercy triumphs over judgment, and that we are forever His.
Join us at Carmel as we remember the Last Supper and Christ’s command to love one another. This intimate and reflective service invites us to the table of grace, where we encounter humility, sacrifice, and sacred fellowship.
We gather with our friends at Coles Point to reflect on the depth of Christ’s sacrifice. Through Scripture, prayer, and quiet reverence, we remember the cross — where love was poured out for the world.
Celebrate the resurrection at sunrise along the river at the Greathouse in Kinsale. As the light breaks over the water, we proclaim, “He is risen!” Dress warmly as this outdoor service greets the dawn with praise and hope.

I started the Bibles for Kenya ministry in 2023, and it continues today. At today's currency exchange rate, a nice bible costs about 12.00 delivered. I have purchased and sent nearly 300 Bibles with your generosity.
I think most of you are aware that there are people across the globe who tune into our Sunday morning service and/or read our website. There are several from Kenya and India who reach out to me occasionally. Most want a donation of money. Asking for help with widows and orphans, a new church building, etc. Some are probably scam artists. Some are poor and genuinely hope for a blessing from God.
The International Bible Society allows me to purchase Bibles in the country of Kenya. Located in Nairobi. They have Bibles in the necessary translation. (There are 50 languages in Kenya) They will mail the Bibles to the pastor or church that is requesting the Bibles. Costs, including shipping, is about $12.00 American for each bible.
I continue to believe this is a worthwhile ministry. To get the Word of God into the hands of people who cannot afford that luxury.
