Enjoy a shared dinner (provided by the Congregational Connections ACT) and conversation with our congregation and the students at Emmaus Campus Ministry at 5:30 pm in the Fireside Room, followed by worship at 6:30 pm in the Sanctuary and online.
With this service, we begin the season of Lent. We come to this service naming our need to shed, to release, to let go of what is not of God in our souls, our lives, our community, and our world.
