Worship and Education Committee
The worship committee is planning to host a prayer vigil on Saturday, April 3rd from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm in the Sanctuary in acknowledgment of Holy Week. A sign up sheet will be located in the Fellowship Hall for members of the congregation to sign up for a specific hour to be present during the vigil and the Sanctuary will be open to the community. Anyone is welcome to come to the church during this time to pray and a selection of scripture readings and prayers will be provided in the narthex.
The Lenten Study has been a huge success for all who are attending. The study takes place every Thursday night following a dinner at 6:30 pm in the Fellowship Hall and will end on March 25th. We are discussing the topic of evangelism and what it really takes to bring someone into a closer relationship with God.
The education committee is in the process of planning an Earth Day at the church in April. The intent will be to get the youth and the congregation involved in planting new plants on the church grounds to beautify our church and educate our members about the importance of environmental stewardship.
