Our Ash Wednesday Service will be held in Fellowship Hall with a light supper and the creation of a Lent-in-a-Box at 6:00 p.m. A service with imposition of ashes will be at 6:30 p.m. with music by Joyful Noize.
Lent in a Box is a set of devotional materials to help God’s children of all ages prepare for the great mystery of Easter. Assemble your set of materials during the Ash Wednesday service on March 6.

Donna wrote "Living Like a Lady When You Have Cancer" in hopes that others could live radiantly, despite their cancer journey. The beauty of Donna's story is that she had to be prodded to her understanding pf God's role in her life. Her ever present optimism and sense of humor are sprinkled throughout, making it a compelling and inspirational talk that is sure to touch the lives and hearts of everyone.
No reservations necessary. Light refreshments will be served.
