This Lenten season You Are Invited…. by Jesus to share in a closer, deeper and more fulfilling relationship with him and each other. Beginning Ash Wednesday and continuing through Maundy Thursday, we will consider in our worship and study some of the invitations Jesus extends to us.

     We will worship on Wednesdays at 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM. FOLLOWING MORNING WORSHIP, we will gather for Simply Soup and Study. This will include, of course, soup as well as a study centering on our worship theme for the week. Karen Wicker will be leading these studies.  Simply Soup and Study will precede the evening worship and start at 5:45PM followed by worship at 7:00.

     As you ponder your Lenten discipline, please consider responding to these invitations of Christ. As Larry Bethune wrote, “You never know where the invitation will come. Abraham was sitting at home. Moses was out in the wilderness. Isaiah was in a worship service. Matthew was at work. The woman caught in adultery was, well, caught in adultery and about to be stoned. I would call that a crisis, wouldn't you? But it doesn't matter where you are or in what situation; God will find you.”

May God bless you on the journey,
