It's not every year that both Ash Wednesday and Valentine's Day fall on the same day! We hope you will join us tonight for worship as we begin the season of Lent. We also wish you a very happy Valentine's Day. I'd like to share a short poem I found online - may it remind us of what true love - Christian love - really is.
Have a blessed day! Pastor Janice
Valentine's Day Every Day
On Valentines Day, we show our love;
We express our deep affections.
Those who are important to us
Get cards and sweet confections.
But Christian love is not just for
The ones we hold most dear;
Jesus said "love everyone;"
He made that very clear.
For Christians, it is every day
We should care and love and serve
Everyone we meet in life,
Whether they do or don't deserve.
Let's follow Jesus' good command
To love everyone we meet.
Valentine's Day every day
Will make life twice as sweet.
