LENTEN GROUPS
Lent is a time for self examination and spiritual growth. Join a small group beginning the week of Feb. 21 to meet once a week for 5 weeks to reflect on spiritual practices which will also be the focus of our Lenten worship services. In homes, at local restaurants, or at church, small groups will gather to reflect on the practices of hospitality, prayer, forgiveness, living simply and compassionate action. The session is encouraging church committees to “fast” from meetings during Lent, in order to allow time for as many people as possible to participate in the groups. Sign up sheets are in the Narthex or call the church office.
