"Your are dust, and to dust you shall return" (Gen.3:19)

At 6:45 p.m. on Wednesday, March 1st, we will begin our observance of the season of Lent with our annual Ash Wednesday Service.  In accordance with our usual pattern, we will gather first in Davis Hall for our fellowship meal at 6:00 p.m.  After supper, we will move up to the sanctuary for the service.  There, through confession of sin and the imposition of ashes, we will corporately acknowledge the brokenness in our lives and our need for God's grace.  As Lent begins, we hope you will join with us as we walk together the honest but hopeful road that leads to Easter.

Menu:  Ham, deviled eggs, collard greens, scalloped potatoes, salad, dessert.  Note:  no separate kid's menu will be served on this night.

On Sunday, March 12th, our young Presbyterians will lead us in worship. I am always amazed and inspired by the depth of faith and insight that our youth bring to their worship leadership. The members of the youth choir, who have been singing beautifully this year, will also lend their voices to our praise. As if that wasn't enough, we will also be celebrating Girl Scout Sunday on March 12th. In both of these observances, our young people deserve our enthusiastic encouragement as they offer their gifts to God and to us, so I hope we will have a huge crowd to support them on March 12th. Please note that there will be only one service at 11 a.m. that Sunday.               -- Rev. Peter Bynum
