Next Saturday (February 7) at 10 AM, we are scrubbing and polishing the pews! Come in your work clothes and make the pews shine with our care and love. Thank you to a parishioner donation that bought the cleaning supplies.

Lent is just around the corner, and we have a variety of worship and formation offerings. We begin Lent with our Ash Wednesday services on February 18 at 9 AM (chapel) and 7 PM (church). Both services will have the imposition of ashes.
The following Wednesday (February 25) will kick off our morning Lenten study: Cultivating Healing and Wholeness with All Your Heart, Soul, Strength, and Mind by Living Compass. The Living Compass booklets can be picked up in the Narthex. Join us on Wednesday mornings at 9:30 AM in the Chapel on February 25 to April 1.
Our Evening Lenten study (Soup and Substance) also begins on February 25. Join us in the Church for Evening Prayer at 6 PM, and then move into the Parish Hall for soup at 6:30 PM and discussion at 7 PM. We’ll focus on the five promises made and reaffirmed in baptism. Each week we’ll welcome a different speaker to focus on what these promises mean in our lives.
