SERVICE OF WORSHIP FOR ASH WEDNESDAY Wednesday, February 17. Dinner at 5:45 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall, Worship at 6:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary. Lent is a time to prepare for the Easter celebration of our redemption through the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We begin our journey toward Easter Sunday by joining together for a meal and then in a service of worship, repenting together as a community held together by Gods loving grace and forgiveness. Please join Reverend Gavin Meek for this time of fellowship, worship, community repentance, and trust in God’s grace.
