Wednesday Evening Lent Series
March 3, 10, 17, 24

Dinner: 5:45pm
Each evening will begin with a meal for all ages.  The fellowship ministry will provide the food for March 3, 17, and 24.   March 10th will be a potluck supper to enjoy the good food brought together by those participating. 

Program For all ages: 6:30pm
Lectionary Study Group
Led by Pastor Gordon Wiersma
Each week this group will use the scripture passages from the lectionary for the upcoming Sunday as our focus.  The time will begin with a Taize-style pattern of scripture and songs to hear and meditate on the texts.  Following this there will be time to discuss the texts together, listening for themes and insights within each week and across the season of Lent. 

Small Group: Writing Your Spiritual Autobiography
Led by Laurie Baron
One of the opportunities Lent offers is space for remembering how the events of our lives connect us to God--and sometimes seem to disconnect us as well. When we write these memories, they become spiritual autobiography. In this time and space, we'll write together using exercises that will awaken our memories, and we'll learn about tools that can help us continue to discover and craft our spiritual autobiographies after these four weeks are over.

For Youth:  Bell Choir
This is for all youth, grades 6 - 12.  A bit of musical training will be helpful, but not necessary.  What is necessary is the commitment to be present at least three of the four Wednesday rehearsals and on Sunday, March 28 to participate in 11 a.m. worship on Palm Sunday. 

For Children:
Children aged 3 through those in 5th grade will be discovering the role of prayer in their everyday lives.  Beginning to explore question such as: Why we pray?  What to pray?  How does pray work?  Will God answer my prayers?  The children will be encouraged to think and talk about prayer through crafts, listening to stories, and some action games.
