"Doing Faith/Practicing Love"
Our Lenten Theme
Come join us for some very special Lenten Services. Bring the whole family and
invite friends for supper and services.
We are offering a new format this year for the Wednesdays in March. Following Holden
Evening Prayer for our Order of Service, we will have an opportunity for Small Group
Conversations (30-45 minutes), focusing on Jesus' Great Commandment, "You shall love
the Lord your God with all your heart, and with your soul, and with all your mind...and you
shall love your neighbor as yourself."
We will provide child care during the time of the Service and Conversations.
For Sunday School age children, we will have a separate "Conversations" group.
Suppers will be served beginning at 6:15pm on March 7, 14, 21, 28. A Seder meal
will be held on April 4. |

Please let us know that you and your family will be coming for supper. There will be reservation
forms in the Sunday bulletin, or call the church office by the Monday before to make your
reservation. A free-will donation will help defray supper costs.
The Holden Evening Prayer order of worship was prepared by liturgical
composer Marty Haugen, who also composed our alternate Sunday liturgy, Now the Feast
and Celebration. It is beautifully melodic. You'll find yourself humming it during
the week.
