Lent is a time to open the doors of our hearts a little wider and understand our Lord a little deeper. Lent is 40 days (not counting Sunday’s) from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday. These 40 days represent the time Jesus spent in the wilderness, enduring temptations of Satan and preparing to begin His ministry. The Lenten season is a preparation for commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus at Easter. It is a time for self-examination and reflection, repentance, fasting and an intentional season of focus on Christ’s life, ministry, sacrifice, and resurrection.

FEBRUARY MISSION FOCUS

This nonprofit endeavor was started in 2005 when a 4-year-old girl named Hannah was helping her mother serve Thanksgiving dinner at the Cherry Street Mission.

Hannah noticed that a lot of the people didn’t have socks and was concerned because it was cold. The next day Hannah’s mom and she delivered 100 pairs of socks to nearby shelters.



Along with collecting socks at church, we are hosting a sock hop on February 28^th at Waterville Primary school. We are suggesting that they bring socks to the event to donate for our drive. We will have music, dancing, games, snacks and raffles. If you are interested in volunteering for this event, please look for the sign-up sheet.

Look for the Teacher's Toolbox cart located in the Gathering Space. On the front of the cart are requests for needed items to be donated.
