Lenten Learning

Each Wednesday in Lent we will have a time of Lenten learning, beginning with a soup and bread supper at 5:00 p.m. followed by 3 different learning options from which to choose at 5:45, and concluding with a group prayer at 6:20. Classes will be offered by Pastor Cathy (Biblical Story), David Franklin (The Trial of Jesus), and John Petticord (Masterpieces).

On Wednesday, April 9, Mike Morrison will lead us through a traditional Seder meal at 5:00 p.m.

Pris Shartle will lead a class for anyone who wants to learn more about the church, our relationship with God, and what it means to live a life in faith. All ages are welcome, and there will be an opportunity at the end to affirm your faith through confirmation, baptism, or uniting in membership through re-affirmation.

Please join us for these meaningful offerings, all are welcome.
