Flowers for the Altar
If you would like to provide the flowers on the altar on a certain Sunday, just
sign up using the new flower chart on the bulletin board by the church office.
We need a name and the occasion, so that this may be printed in the bulletin.
Also fill out the white form that is by the chart. This form explains how to pay
for the flowers if you would like the Altar Guild to order the flowers for you,
or indicate if you are purchasing them on your own. Thank you.
Lent begins on Wednesday, Feb. 6th
Lent is a time for us to examine our lives and strengthen our faith as we
prepare for Easter. During Lent we emphasize the confession of our sin and
remember Jesus as he suffered and died as our Savior. Here is the Wednesday
Lenten Schedule:
Throughout the Last week of Jesus’ life, we see him going from one place to the next. Did you ever wonder what Jesus and/or his disciples were thinking about as they traveled? Let’s put ourselves on the road with Jesus, the road that would eventually lead him to the cross. This year the theme that we will follow is: ‘Crossroads - Traveling with Our Savior'
