Lent is a time to focus on our relationship with God with a little more intention during the rest of the year … and to feel God’s love focusing on us. This year, in the sermons and our daily devotions we are taking a slow walk through Holy Week, paying attention to moments in that week we otherwise don’t have time for. We invite you to find a way to plug in to our various Lenten offerings.
Ash Wednesday, Feb 18: our yearly reminder that we all fall down, in grief, anguish and sorrow. And yet falling is never the end of the story. Services at 1 pm and 7 pm.
Feb 22: Children sing in worship; Pancake Breakfast;
kick off Lenten Giving Project; Make resurrection eggs with your family.

Lenten Devotions: a Slow Walk through Holy Week
Sign up for daily texts or emails. Each day will
include an artist’s rendition of one of the events of Holy Week, scripture and
a breath prayer. Begins the Thursday, Feb 19; we’ll add you whenever you sign up!
We hope this slow walk will enable you to experience Holy Week anew. Look here for all that going on during Holy Week–there are lots of ways to engage, and there’s room for you.
