Next WeekFebruary 23 - March 1
Lenten Study - "I believe"
Wednesdays at 11:00 a.m., Tyler Hall

For five Wednesdays, beginning February 25, at 11:00 a.m. we will gather in Tyler Hall to discuss what we believe. The final paragraph of the Apostles' Creed is as follows: I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Each week we will look into the Church's meaning of each phrase, our thoughts and understandings on each and ultimately discover what it is that "I believe." We invite you to join us for the noon service in the Chapel immediately following this study.

Outreach is conducting a coat drive through February in order to provide protection from the cold winter weather for those we serve at our DCCM food pantry, soup kitchen, Craig-Houghton Elementary School and others.
