Lent is a time of spiritual renewal. It is a season of preparation during the 40 days and six Sundays before Easter. It is a time to reflect upon the love of God and the gift of God’s grace. During this season the church will offer Lenten Circles as a way for you to make space for breathing and being, and what it means to live as one loved by God. This year each Lenten Circle will set their gathering time and space.

In January, worship is livestreamed at 8:30 am (and recorded for future viewing). On January 30, join us at 11:00 am via Zoom for the Annual Meeting (Meeting ID: 836 5942 2684, Passcode: 014261). View the Agenda, Budget, Annual Report, Candidates (At-Large members to Nominating Com.)

Responding to Micah’s call to do justice, we launched an Anti-Racism Team (ART) in 2021 to study racism – both systemic and personal. We are examining racism’s history and impact on Dr. King’s concept of creating a beloved community, a society based on justice, equal opportunity, and love of one’s fellow human beings. The team has been identifying resources to support congregational education and awareness-building. We will collaborate with existing organizations such as ACT as we identify initiatives for working toward justice in the community. We will host a Lenten Circle (keep an eye out for communications). If interested in information or joining ART, please contact Debbie. 

Sundays, March 13 and 20, 9:30 am, in Kinhart Center, room 1a. Email Elder, Jo Fleming for information.
