ChurchNews & Events

Lent

Church Family, the Lenten Season is upon us. As you know, the Lenten season is a time to reflect on the final days of Jesus leading up to his crucifixion and resurrection. The Lenten season begins on Ash Wednesday, February 17, 2021, and ends on Easter morning, April 4, 2021.

Lenten Prayer Calendar

We thank the Prayer Ministry for providing this prayer calendar. Please take some time daily to lift these concerns.

Lenten Fast

Since we are experiencing a time like no other, we decided to offer a fast that is different. We are offering a cumulative fast that you will increase the number of items to refrain from during the six weeks of Lent. We recommend that you fast from the following items — luxury spending, caffeine, sugar in candy, deserts, soda, meat of all kind, bread, and fast food. Each Sunday of Lent, you will add another item. For example, week one, you chose to fast from fast food. On week two, you add sugar to the
fast and now includes fast food and sugar. On week three, you will add a new item to the list and fast from three items. By the last week of Lent, you should be fasting from all six items.

Distribution of Ashes for Ash Wednesday

We offer thanks to the Altar and Flower Guild for providing small baggies of ashes. Please come by the church and pick-up ashes and be prepared to impose them on yourself. You may pick up ashes during Grab and Go Sunday, February 14, 2021, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m., or Grab and Go Wednesday, February 17, 2021, from 1:00 p.m. 2:00 p.m.
