Opportunities are available for you to practice Lenten spiritual disciplines
and observe a Holy Lent:
*We are thankful this year to be able to resume our Community Ash
Wednesday Observance at Hardees (Ambriar Shopping Center), Wednesday,
February 22 from 7:00-9:30 a.m. The gathering includes a time of prayer and the
imposition of ashes done in small groups throughout the time period. You are
encouraged to come and bring a neighbor or friend with you.
*A traditional Ash Wednesday Service will take place in our Sanctuary
on Wednesday, February 22 at 6:00-6:45 p.m. The earlier time gives those who
have 7:00 p.m. commitments at church the opportunity to attend.
*Commit to attend weekly worship each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Our
Sanctuary is also open for prayer during the week during office hours on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
*Lenten Devotional Booklets and Coin Banks from the Society of St.
Andrew will be available in the Narthex before the first Sunday of Lent. These
materials will help enrich your devotional life and encourage you to consider giving
your spare change to help feed the hungry.
*Lenten Devotion, Prayer and Communion Time will be offered each
Wednesday of Lent (March 1, 8, 15, 22, 29) in the Sanctuary from 6:00-6:45
p.m. A brief devotional will be shared at the beginning with prayer, followed by a
time of silence for personal prayer and meditation, ending with Holy Communion.
*Special Worship Opportunities are planned for Palm/Passion Sunday,
Holy Week and Easter Sunday. Watch for further details in the March and April
newsletters.
