Lent begins with Ash Wednesday worship on February 26th and continues every Wednesday through April 1st. Services are at 4:00 and 6:30 with a soup supper served in the Fellowship Hall 4:30 to 6:30.

The theme for our Wednesday evening Lenten services is “Go and Do Likewise”. This phrase is taken from the parable of the Good Samaritan telling us all to show mercy and love to our neighbors. The services will all feature stories of Jesus sharing love and forgiveness and teaching us about the importance of following his example of service. The services following Ash Wednesday will include liturgy from the Holden Evening Prayer service and include a short reflection.

Please join us for worship and soup supper.  All are welcome!

• Wednesday, February 26th:
  • Chicken Wild Rice with proceeds benefiting the El Salvador Mission Trip

Wednesday Worship is our worship service on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 in the Fellowship Hall. This exciting worship service is less than half an hour long, family and kid friendly, and totally relaxed. We will be singing songs, praying together, hearing God’s Word and a short reflection from one of the pastors, and sharing communion weekly.

Why a Wednesday Worship service?

• There are over 200 people in our church building every Wednesday night! Wednesday Worship will gather us together as a community of faith across all generation.
• Many families and individuals find it hard to come to worship on Sunday mornings for a variety of reasons.
• We can all use a mid-week refresher and time to spend with God!
• Confirmation Youth and Power-Up kids will be weekly participants
• Wednesday Worship is something new and creative in worship.
• Bring your dinner to worship, sit with friends, meet new people, grow in faith, share as a community
• Kids are not required to sit and be perfectly behaved!
• Many churches with similar Wednesday night activities and participation have started Wednesday worship services and found them meaningful and relevant.

Wednesday Worship is not the same as Sunday worship. The format is different and the message is original. Therefore, even if you regularly attend worship on Sunday, Wednesday Worship will be fresh and new. If you are looking for something different to better meet your spiritual needs or those of your family, Wednesday Worship offers an opportunity to try something new and innovative.

We are pleased to offer a multi-aged morning class for the 2020-2021 school year which will cater to each child’s individualized learning plan. You will have your choice of a flexible schedule (two, three, four or five days a week) that fits your child’s needs.

Our classroom is designed to let your child explore math, science, literacy and art in a fun filled thematic approach to early learning.

Each day students will engage in exciting activities that will take their imaginations to new places.  Our staff will prepare your child for his or her future through activities such as cutting, coloring, counting, phonemic  awareness, and writing his or her name.  In addition, your child’s year will  include faith-filled visits from our pastors who will share God’s love through story and song.

We look forward to an amazing year with your family!
