Stay up to date!
From Sunday:

Today we begin the new sermon series: The Final Week and the season of Lent by talking about Palm Sunday. Why celebrate Palm Sunday on the first Sunday of Lent? Because Holy Week is a sacred time for Christians everywhere; however, the week passes by so quickly that we don't have the time to reflect deeply on what it means. Instead of cramming our reflection time into one schedule-packed Holy Week of special services, we are going to slow down and spend the entire season of Lent on the events that took place during Holy Week. We begin today with Palm Sunday.

En Agape',
Rev. Michael Weeks

Outreach Opportunity

ACES  (Ashland Christian Emergency Services)  has been supporting Ashland and the local community for many years. Volunteers work hard to try to provide food and clothing to local persons and families who have so little and need a lift - a helping hand. Please fill a bag for ACES and return it to church by  February 25th. 
The Outreach Team hopes that you will continue to help us to feed the hungry!
