Ash Wednesday Service
 Join us Wednesday evening, February 18th, at 7:00 PM as we gather to mark the
beginning of the season of Lent. We will engage in scripture reading, music,
prayer, and silence together. For those who wish, there will also be the
offering of communion and the imposition of ashes. As we enter this season of
spiritual attention, we will take the opportunity to be present to God and to
one another.

 You are invited to join a new group beginning Friday, January 30th and meeting
each Friday from 10:00 AM until 11:30 AM in the Fellowship Hall for coffee,
conversation, and fellowship. See Janet Lisle for additional information. Living in the Midst of Darkness

well be what you or a loved one needs in this season of their life. You can find
the sermon here.
