Open Prayer Space
Lent is a time God calls us to examine our lives. Our theme will be the Wilderness. Will we go? What will we find there? The church sanctuary will be available between 6:30am and 8:00am Wednesday mornings beginning on Ash Wednesday, February 26. This will be a time for individual quiet reflection and contemplation. We are calling this, “Open Space.” Devotionals and bibles will be available. Enter in and see how God is present!

Lenten Services Loose Offering
Lenten services loose offering will be going towards Lutheran World Relief. Through our congregations donation, we are assembling and shipping personal care kits and reaching out to our neighbors in the most fragile corners of the world and who are in the most challenging circumstances. With our donations, we can reach the young mother, living in a refugee camp in Mali, who simply needs to clean her baby’s face or the elderly woman in Syria who wants to regain some dignity in attending to hygiene even though war has robbed her of everything. With your help, we can reach the father in Haiti who so desperately wants to begin anew following a disaster, starting with the simple act of bathing.
