LENTEN PROGRAMS

Please join us for a covered dish supper on Wednesday nights during Lent, beginning at 6 p.m., on February 29. Bring your favorite dish to share. We will then break into groups from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. Remember that Lent is not only about giving up things we like, but also taking on new tasks as well. Wonderful Wednesday will meet after dinner during Lent, beginning Wednesday, February 29. Nursery will be provided for children 3 years old and under. Adults will gather for a program exploring the last 24 hours of Jesus’ life. A DVD viewing will be followed by discussion. Bethany will lead the EYC with a program of the same content as the adults.
