A reminder from the Stewardship Team:
If you have not yet pledged to our annual operating budget for 2021, we would be grateful if you would send in or drop off your pledge card to the church by February 26th.  Our Stewardship Team is finalizing the proposed 2021 budget in time to present it to the congregation, and we would like to include your pledge in the calculations! Thank you.
 
A little bit about our music this week:
Sunday will see a welcome return of Ron Jacoby as he sings in duet with Lynne Spotts. They begin our Lenten season services with a duet written in 1708 as part of a larger work called, The Gloria, by Vivaldi. The Latin is from the Proper of the Mass, "We praise and bless and worship Thee". Although written in contrapuntal style, it celebrates in as joyous music as we could write today, the giving of honor to our God and all He has done for us.
Ministry Highlight:
Ash Wednesday Service
Last night, we began the Lenten Season with a special walk-through Ash Wednesday worship experience. It was a sacred time where God was abundantly present! Be sure to join us for all the other Lenten opportunities we’ll be offering this season.
