Easter Lilies-

We will be using Easter lilies to decorate our sanctuary on Easter Sunday, April 17th. If you would like to honor a special person in your life, give a lily in memory of a loved one, or just help out in this way to beautify the church, please complete a form. You can drop the slip in the offering plate or leave it in the church office. Your free-will monetary offering may be included with this form to help cover the cost of the lilies. The forms are due on Sunday, April 10th.

Torn: Shredding the Fabric of Our Lies

Lent 2022

The season of Lent began on March 2 with Ash Wednesday and the imposition of ashes as a reminder of our mortality and Christ’s gift of life everlasting. This year we are exploring “lies we tell ourselves,” and how the in-breaking of God into our lives exposes those lies, and reveals the truth of God’s love and care for us. Join us Wednesday evenings at 6:15 pm for Torn: Shredding the Fabric of Our Lies.
