Our Lenten Services Theme this year is Everything in Between: Meeting God in the Midst of Extremes. This series is an invitation to navigate the polarities in our lives with more faith, intention, and openness.
The following Wednesday Lenten Services will focus on:
April 2 Lost and Found -- Parable of the Lost Sheep
April 9 Righteousness and Mercy -- Zacchaeus Greets Jesus
Join us as we delve into extremes that we live in every day. The services will follow the Evening Vespers Format and will feature Taizé music. Soup Suppers will be served from 5:30 to 6:15 pm with services starting at 6:30.
