Adopt A Room - Volunteer Cleaning Program
Our church is a vibrant, active place with many things going on! In order to keep our facility clean and pleasing to the eye for ourselves and our guests/visitors the Trustees have decided to launch an "Adopt A Room" program. The various duties have been split up so they are more manageable and we encourage you as an individual, a family or a group (ie: a Bible Study group, a class or a group of friends) to "adopt" one or more of the duties below and commit to it for a month. To volunteer, just sign your name on the sheet located on the back table and we'll give you an info sheet explaining what to do. Thanks!

Ash Wednesday Worship Service
Wednesday, February 22nd at 6:00 p.m.
This worship service marks the beginning of the season of Lent recalling the 40-day wilderness struggle of Jesus as he began his ministry. For those who choose, ashes in the form of a cross are placed on the forehead or on the back of the hand. This ancient tradition reminds us of our human mortality and of our eternal reliance on God. Holy Communion will be served.

 24 Hours That Changed the World
Lenten Bible Study

No single event in human history has received more attention than the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth. In this study, author Adam Hamilton guides us through the last twenty-four hours of Jesus' life. Each session is designed to help the participant experience and understand the significance of Jesus' suffering and death in a way you have never done before. Whether you are long-time Christians or simply curious about the story of Christ's crucifixion, you are invited to join us in retracing the last 24 hours of Jesus' life.
This class will be led by Pastor Greg. |
