Donate for Easter flowers

Easter is the holiest day of the Christian year. In celebration, we want to create a worship space with an abundance of flowers to underscore the joy of the occasion. If you would like to donate flowers in memoriam or thanksgiving, please send names to Carol. You can donate by writing a check, putting cash in a pew envelope, or via the Diocesan website. Note "Easter flowers" in the comments/memo section.

Dessert donations needed for Easter reception

We will have a champagne reception after the service on Easter Sunday. Please consider bringing a dessert, some fruit, or cheese and crackers to share. There will be champagne!

Lettuce, Legumes, and Lent on Saturday

Come with us to prepare for a joy-filled Easter by engaging with the season of Lent. This will be a fellowship meal-sharing time on Saturdays, 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m., through April 1. We will converse about ways to improve a conscious contact with God and with each other.

Bible study: Thursdays at noon

The Epistle of Paul to the Romans is one of the first writings of the Christian Bible. In it we see the importance of the epistles received by the early church. We will also do some exploration of "Lectio Divina," sacred reading. Having a notion of this ancient practice will deepen your Biblical reflections.
