In This Issue

Ash Wednesday, March 1, is the first day of Lent. We spend the season before Easter examining our discipleship, scrutinizing our Christian journeys, and acknowledging our need for repentance, mercy, and forgiveness. We ask ourselves, "How then shall we live in light of the work of Jesus upon the cross?"

Join us this coming Wednesday for the observances below, and see Lent and Easter 2017 on the website to note important dates in the weeks to come. 

Noon Communion service in Niles Chapel, followed by lunch ($8 per person). With senior bus pick-up at the Windrows (11:00 AM) and Stonebridge (11:20 AM) and return after lunch.

Lenten Craft Fair, 4:00-6:00 PM in the Assembly Room. Families, join us for our second annual Lenten Craft Fair. All ages are welcome to participate in hands-on crafts and activities which will help you and your children mark this season in our church. Pretzel-making returns along with new projects.

Potluck dinner and Communion at 6:00 PM in the Assembly Room. Childcare will be available. Bring a dish to share (main dishes are especially appreciated).

To help strengthen, inspire, and connect our community of faith, the Adult Education Committee has developed a series of reflections for Lent written by members of the Nassau congregation.
