Youth Sunday, March 1st  

Reminder 

This Sunday we look forward to having our youth help lead the morning service. They have been working hard with their mentors to creatively bring us God's Word.

Please support our youth by your presence in worship!

All youth and mentors are reminded to come for the  

rehearsal at 4pm this Saturday Feb. 28th.  

Rebecca Circle

Rebecca Circle, the women's bible study group, meets on the 4th Tuesday of every month at 7:00pm in the nursery of the administrative building.  

Their next meeting is TONIGHT, February 24th 7:00pm.  

All women of the church are welcome.   

Lenten Midweek Worship

We gather each Wednesday evening during Lent (Feb. 25-Mar. 25) in the church following the soup study, for a quiet contemplative service with readings, prayer, silence, candlelight and the music of Holden Evening Prayer.

Conversations for Lent 

Feb. 22nd - March 25th

"How do we make a difference by being the church together?" That's the question we'll be considering over five weeks during Lent. Using a new resource from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), "Claimed, Gathered, Sent" each week will focus on a different theme:

• We are church
• We are Lutheran
• We are church together
• We are church for the sake of the world
• We are church with other partners

These conversations will be especially relevant as our Congregation Council has committed itself to reviewing our mission and purpose this year.

Your participation is welcomed and encouraged either on 

Wednesday evenings (Feb. 25-Mar. 25) over soup 6:15-7:15; or 

Sundays after worship (Feb. 22-Mar. 22) from 11:30-12:30pm.

Baskets of Promise

Feb. 22nd-March 29th

This Lent we're joining Lutheran World Relief's "Baskets of Promise" appeal. Each week, we'll collect a different item that we'll use to assemble Personal Care Kits that give people around the world tools to stay healthy in life's most challenging situations.
