  • Wednesday, February 22, 2012 - Ash Wednesday Service
    7:00 pm to 8:00 pm   Ash Wednesday invites us into the season of Lent–a time within the church year to acknowledge our mortality, our limits and our vulnerability so that we might be transformed and become the new life God calls us to be. Lent awakens us to hope in God whose "steadfast love endures forever" and to struggle against everything that leads us away from the love of God and neighbor. Suitable for all ages and we are hoping that families will attend following the Pancake Supper. Childcare will be available
