Wednesday Night - learning, living, and loving the Gospel...together
Join us for an informal gathering that has as its purpose the total transformation of our thinking and our living for the glory of God. We want together as a church to learn the Gospel, to love the Gospel, and to live the Gospel.
Wednesday Night Schedule:
- 5:45-6:15 PM - Dinner (pizza tonight) is served. Suggested donation for dinner is $5/person, $15 max per family.
- 6:20-6:35 PM - Prayer and praise
- 6:35-7:30 PM - Classes for adults, students, and K-5. Childcare for infants - preschool.
Want to be a part of making Wednesdays happen? We're using VolunteerSpot, an online volunteer manager, to schedule volunteers each week to help with everything from setting up tables, to watching the kids, to figuring out what to do with the leftovers. When you click here, you will be asked to enter your email address. The system will then show you the serving opportunities on Wednesday night. It's a pretty neat system - check it out! You may sign up for one week or multiple weeks.

Ash Wednesday Service and Dinner
Wednesday, February 22
Next Wednesday our dinner will be followed by an Ash Wednesday service. We will serve dinner from 5:45-6:20 PM; the service will start at 6:30 PM. Please let us know to expect you by signing up in the gathering area this Sunday.
The aim of the Ash Wednesday worship service is threefold: to meditate on our mortality, sinfulness, and need of a savior; to renew our commitment to daily repentance in the Lenten season and in all of life; and to remember with confidence and gratitude that Christ has conquered death and sin.
Childcare will be provided for Infants - PreK during the worship service.
