Join the Lenten Journey at Atonement...

Lent is a season of transformation - and transformation is messy. Lent is a time of facing the truth, taking responsibility, and making something beautiful together. “Bless This Mess” is our theme for Lent 2021 and we'll focus on the season’s transformative potential, God’s blessings, and the wonder of a simple cup of tea!  Ordinary things can create extraordinary surprises - as when common types of tea bring beautiful colors to Easter eggs (and yes, you can try this at home!). And beginning February 14th (Valentine's Day), we'll have an all new "Bless the Mess Lenten Calendar" available at church for you to use for your 2021 Lenten Journey!

Watch with children! Sunday Online Worship  We will celebrate virtual communion please prepare wine & bread before you begin the video. Read Mark 1:29-39 (NRSV) Watch Worship only. Watch Weekend Playlist. Ways to Give to Atonement.

Worship Technology Update Thanks to the generosity of several families at Atonement, the sanctuary has completed a major technology upgrade! After months of waiting, weeks of installation and weeks of training, we now have the capacity to Live Stream Worship Online and use a projector and screen to enhance the worship experience! We plan to Live Stream all worship services beginning Ash Wednesday February 17th! Now all we need is YOU! The technology requires two people to run for each worship service. The training is easy and FUN! If you'd like to help enhance worship and provide Live Streaming to home-bound people, please contact Pastor Tim, or sign-up for the Worship Tech Team online.
