We invite you to usher in the Lenten season with us during our Ash Wednesday Service on February 22, at 6:00 PM.
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a season of reflection and preparation for the events of Holy Week. It is also a time set aside for those who have felt estranged from the church to consider reconciliation and ‘re-membering’ their relationships with God and with each other. We will be anointed with fragrant oil and ashes burned from last year’s joyful palm branches, reminding us of our celebration of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem as a victorious King, and how quickly our memory fades when it come to living our lives under his Lordship. It is a somber ceremony, but not without hope. Even in penitence, God is with us, calling us to greater discipleship while giving us the strength we need for that journey.
Peace be with you,
David |

We invite you to be a part of our Advent and Christmas celebrations for these next few weeks. Advent is a season of preparation, as we get ready for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Christmas is the day we celebrate the gift that God has given us in his son, born in obscurity, in poverty, yet through whom, the world is reconciled to God. What power! What grace! What mercy! What a mystery this is!

Good News! We're almost done with the hammering and drilling and dust and re-arranging and inconvenience and plumbing and painting and roofing and carpeting and coughing and cleaning up every Saturday morning! We have a brand new Women's restroom with handicap-accessible facilities, as well as a 'unisex/family' style bathroom which is also handicap-accessible (Please knock!). The men's restroom might be out of commission for a few more days, but will be finished with the new tile soon.
We are on the last few smaller projects, final re-touching of some minor areas, bits and pieces left over from the big stuff. Please come and admire the new office for the Office Administrator -- we can actually fit her copy machine in her office, along with all the paper and equipment that couldn't fit before. We also have a lovely 'conversation space' where I can meet with folks in a room that doesn't feel like the walls are closing in on us. I know the insurance company will be glad to see that there is a window into the room to prevent any inappropriate activity or accusations. I feel safer, and I hope that anybody who comes to talk to me will also feel more comfortable.
Thanks for all your patience during this project. It's been a big one, long overdue, but well worth the wait. |
