Worship: Sundays @ 8:15, 9:40, 11:00 am | Wednesdays @ 6:35 pm
Ash Wednesday
 
Join us on March 1 at 6:35pm for a special time of worship marking Ash Wednesday, the first day of the season of Lent
.   This day historically marks the beginning of a time of preparation for persons of Christian faith. We turn our hearts to God and recommit to walking the journey that will lead us to the cross, where we encounter the depth of God's love, and on to an empty grave, where we find hope in the power of God's love even over death. It will also serve as the kickoff to our Lent worship series, The Restoration Project. If you are unable to make it to the service, we will be live streaming from our website or YouTube channel at 6:35pm.
Wednesday Lenten Worship Services
Each Wednesday throughout the holy season of Lent, we will be reflecting on the traditional "last seven words" of Christ from the cross. Join us in the Chapel for the 6:35 service where together we will seek to move into a deeper appreciation of the passion of Christ.
Mission Box 
This week's Mission Box goes to support One Great Hour of Sharing. This offering is taken during Lent and provides major support for immediate assistance in the wake of natural and human-caused disasters and helps support ongoing ministries of food, shelter, health and peace. One Great Hour of Sharing giving allows 100% of designated gifts to be used for the specified disaster response or other ministry. (text 2 give keyword: sharing) 
The Restoration Challenge
A 40 day journey of spiritual, mental, and physical renewal. This Lent, we invite you to accept The Restoration Challenge by participating in one or more of the following spiritual disciplines that are intended to work together to bring renewal - spiritually, mentally, and physically - as we seek follow to Christ by loving God and loving others as we love ourselves.  Join the Challenge!

Adults
Lenten Study on Fasting (Wednesdays, March 8 - 29, 6:30-7:30pm, E222).  Fasting has been called the forgotten spiritual discipline. Although it is found throughout Scripture, it is often neglected by modern Christians. Is there power in fasting? Does it really make a difference? How does fasting relate to prayer? In this study, the author, Ashlee Alley considers the biblical basis for fasting and explores ways modern Christians can make this ancient discipline part of their faith walk. Led by Jan Sims. Class materials are $10 and available on the first day of class or the Bookstore. Childcare is available. Register Now.
