Join us on the first day of Lent as we prepare ourselves for the Easter season ahead. We will be worshipping together at 7 p.m. Wednesday. Childcare will be available for birth to preschool.

As we enter into the season of Lent, we are offering a “You’re It” journal to help you focus your daily Bible reading time during the weeks leading up to Easter. If you ordered a journal, you can pick it up on Sunday morning at the Info Table. The content of the journal will also be available online.
