This Sunday there will be infant baptisms at both services. Also, there will be an immersion baptism at 1:30pm at the Curlin/Batchelder house (5210 Landguard Drive Raleigh, NC 27613). All are welcome to attend. (Don't worry...they will be in a hot tub, not a swimming pool!)

Join us on Tuesday, February 17, for our Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper. We will serve the meal from 5pm-7pm so drop in anytime during those two hours to enjoy breakfast for dinner as we celebrate the last day before the beginning of the Lenten season. There will be gluten-free and gluten-filled pancakes available and bacon. There is no specified cost, but there will be a basket for voluntary donations to help cover the cost of the dinner. 

We invite you to join us Wednesday night, February 18, at 6:30pm for our AshWednesday service as we begin our journey through the Lenten Season. Childcare will be available for nursery aged children (birth-4 year olds). The service will only last about 45 minutes, so elementary aged children and older will be able to attend the service.
