Please come! Take a break! Enjoy Community! All are invited - congregation members, their families, friends and community members.
The
Building Community Initiative
will be hosting Lenten Dinners. These meals are a gift for all--a gift of a meal prepared with love; a gift of coming together to talk, share, and laugh; a gift of time out of our everyday routines so we can reflect on all that we have in common. The light meals will be held on six Thursdays during Lent, from 5:00 to 5:55 p.m., in our dining room. And we invite you stay for the Taizé service, at 6:00 p.m. in our chapel.
Dates: February 27; March 5, 12, 19, 26; April 2
To get a head count for meals, please let us know if you will be attending, and which week(s). Call 262.632.1686 or email office@firstpresracine.org
We look forward to seeing you all there!

The Building Community Initiative will also be hosting "Walk & Talk," on Wednesdays, 1:15 to 2:15
PM. We will walk for no more than an hour, initially staying indoors. We invite everyone to participate in this weekly event. As the weather improves, the walks will be outdoors - a great way to meet the neighbors! Following the walks, we hope to have a brief fellowship time (hence, the talk part of the name!) Join us any Wednesday for Walk & Talk! UN-Official start date was last Wednesday! Official start date is Wed., Mar. 11
