Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent. Lent is a time when many Christians prepare for Easter by observing a period of fasting, repentance, moderation and spiritual discipline. Join us as we prepare for the season of Lent.

Starting at 3:00pm, set up your tent for an evening of camping and enjoy a night under the stars. Sunday morning will start with a short devotion at 7:30 led by Pastor Joel. A few tents are available to check out for the night.

Java & Jesus is a gathering for “busy moms” who are interested in fellowship and an encouraging Word. We will begin a video series Called “Defiant Joy” with “Chewbacca Mom” Candace Payne. No outside reading required. Nursery childcare is provided! Please contact Trudy Smith if you have questions, or if you plan to attend with kiddos, so we have plenty of nursery workers.

Seeking a few more volunteer cooks to help prepare Wednesday night meals. We currently feed about 25-40 each week. Those who cook do it all…plan the meal, provide the ingredients, prepare it in the church kitchen, and clean up after. You get reimbursed for food cost. It can be a few people or a team. If you are willing to help one Wednesday a month, please Michelle (972-841-8458) or Shannon (817-991-3049) for more information!
