Join us on Ash Wednesday
The Lenten season begins next Wednesday with our Ash Wednesday service on February 17th from 6:00-7:00 P.M. This year, we are offering a self guided worship experience that includes an optional imposition of ashes. Begin the Lenten season with your brothers and sisters in Christ.
Lent at Home
Earlier this week, Miss Crystal mailed out Lenten activity packets for families with young children at home. Please take a few moments to learn about the many ways you can observe this sacred time within your home.

A little bit about our music this week:
This Sunday’s service will open with a great old gospel hymn called This Little Light of Mine. With the service being outdoors, we will give it that revival spirit as Pastor Dan and Anne do their version of it. Lynne Spotts will be singing, I’ll Walk with God, and the Lord Bless You and Keep you. This promises to be a Sunday of old treasures and a perfect way to start your Valentine’s Day.
Missions Update:
Souper Bowl of Caring Report: Thank you to everyone who generously donated items for our food drive. Because of your generosity, we had our most successful year EVER and we collected 1,006 items! The food was delivered this week to CROS Ministries and the Real Life Children's Ranch.

Family Promise: This year we served 10 families with full program services.  These families had 22 children amongst their families. In addition, we served 8 families with services (no shelter). These families had 19 children amongst them. Even with all of congregations closing, we never stopped serving families in either of our CORE or LIFE programs. In addition, we did not have a single family in LIFE program fall back into homelessness. With so many of our families experiencing hardships and jobless due to COVID, this was a task on its own.
Please see the attached list of items that the families need for their new homes by clicking here. Please contact the Day Center at 561-318-8864 for drop off information.
