 Dear Folks,

This coming Sunday, February 19, is Transfiguration.  We will also be celebrating Scout Sunday.  All scouts and scout leaders are invited to wear their uniforms.  The scripture is Matthew 17:1-9.  The sermon is "More Than Meets the Eye".  The service is on-site and on Facebook live-stream.

 

Ash Wednesday Service will be held on February 22 at 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary and Facebook live-stream. Imposition of the ashes will be offered.

In Christ's love,

Rev. Lucille
