Bread
In preparation for Sunday, Feb. 23, bread-bakers are invited to bake and bring a loaf of bread to church. Loaves will be gathered in celebration and then distributed as part of the communion feast. Please label bread with ingredients. People leaving worship will be encouraged to take a loaf and give it away or share it with a neighbor!

Ashes and Lent
On Feb. 26, come for a meditative service of singing and prayer and receiving of ashes from 7:00-7:45 pm in the sanctuary. This service builds on the sung tradition of the Taize community.

Throughout the next 6 weeks for Lent, a Wednesday night group will gather at the church for scripture study, prayer, and coloring – using the practice of Lectio Divina. Begins Mar. 4, at 7 p.m. Tell the church office or Pastor Mariah if you are interested so that materials and space can be provided matching the size of the group.
