Lent Services
The season of Lent begins with an Ash Wednesday worship service on February 10 at 7 pm in the Sanctuary. With this day, and those that follow until Easter, we pledge to walk with Jesus through the stories toward the cross. As our Lenten practice for this year will explore everyday spiritual practices, an introduction to them will be shared.
Services will be held at 7 pm in the Sanctuary on Wednesdays throughout Lent from February 17—March 16. Each week, we will engage part of our body in further understanding who we are and who God calls us to be. After conversation on the different ways in which to engage, we will practice a spiritual discipline together and connect with one another through the Sacrament of Communion. We hope you will join us on this journey.
Village Corner Gift Shoppe
You are invited to attend the grand re-opening of the Village Corner Gift Shoppe at Homestead Village on February 10-13 from 10 am—2 pm.
