Lenten Devotion Books

Devotion books for the 40 days of Lent are available in the Narthex. There are two different books. Please take the one which interests you the most.

 

Lenten Bible Study - Living in Covenant Community

3:00 p.m. every Sunday

The Presbyterian system is often called a “connectional” system, a word that doesn’t even appear in the dictionary. A better way to understand our relationship with God and church is the Biblical concept of “Covenant”.

How has God used this ancient form of relational contract to walk with His people? How is it relevant for life and ministry today? These are the questions we will explore during our Lenten Bible study.

We will examine the Biblical accounts of Covenantal relationships from Adam to Jesus and how these affect our connection with one another and God. Join us for one or all sessions.

 

Congregational Pot-luck Dinner and Ministries Meetings

Wednesday, March 10 - 6:30 p.m.

Wednesday, March 10, is the date for the March congregational fellowship dinner and ministries meetings. Dinner this month will be a pot-luck. Please bring a covered dish to share. The meetings will convene at 6:30. The Informal Worship Service will be incorporated into the meal and meetings. This event is for everyone: Officers, committee members, congregational members, and visitors. If you simply want to come for the dinner and fellowship, you are welcome. You will be invited to meet with one of the ministries to share your advice, work on a project of your choice, or simply listen in.
