Ash Wednesday Service - February 22 at 6:30 PM

 

Join us this Wednesday as we come together for a time of quiet, simple song, prayer, and communion. It's a great opportunity to be together before God as we begin our Lenten journey.

Open and Affirming Update




Wednesday evening, February 29th will be our third discussion session in our journey of discernment to declare ourselves open and affirming to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. The discussions so far have been both frank and gracious and appreciated by those in attendance. We encourage everyone in our congregation to be involved in this process. After this third discussion, we will begin crafting our Open and Affirming statement.


C.R.O.S. Food Drive Update

There is one more week for us to collect food for C.R.O.S. ministries. When you go shopping this week, pick up an extra jar of peanut butter, beans, rice, mac & cheese, or tuna for us to take to the C.R.O.S. food pantry.



 
Blessed Connections


Next Sunday begins the six week season of Lent. It is a season of reflection and repentance, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be too somber. On Sunday, we will begin the Lenten season by looking at the story of Noah in Genesis, specifically, God's rainbow covenant and promise of blessing to Noah. Hope to see you there!
