Sunday morning worship services will be provided online for the next 2 weeks because of the coronavirus threat. There will be NO worship services in the sanctuary–and no Monday Community Meals for 2 weeks. We hope to have the service on both Facebook and on this website by 10:30 a.m. each Sunday morning. We ask the Lord’s guidance as we try this out. Your feedback will be helpful, too.
Come, Let Us Worship Together
We were not able to meet in our sanctuary today, but we CAN meet together from our various homes. May the service be a blessing to us all and give us added strength for helping those in need during this coronavirus time.
Sonshine Class Lenten Study
Anyone interested in a Sunday morning Lenten Study is invited to the Sonshine Class. We are about to begin Divine Friendship: Reflections for Lent. The books are $10 and will be available on Sunday, Feb. 23.
Through this book of Scripture readings and a brief meditation for each day of Lent, Jesus invites us to spend time with him and to renew our friendship with him. This encouraging book reminds us that we are beloved children of a God who deeply desires friendship with us.
The Sonshine class meets in the room labeled Parlor. Visitors and new members are always welcome.
Lent Begins with Ash Wed., Feb. 26
The Lenten Season, 40 days of rethinking our relationship to Christ, and renewing our commitment to God, begins with a special service.
Take a few minutes to review its meaning by watching the very short video below. Then decide how you might observe this special season. The Sonshine Sunday School class will be doing a Lenten study: 10 a.m., all welcome. The Pastor’s Bible study is another opportunity. Or you can receive devotional emails for The Upper Room and other sources.
