Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinner
February 17th from 5:30 PM -7:30 PM
This event is sponsored by our
youth & children ministries.
Come join us for pancakes,
bacon, sausage, and fruit. We
will have various types of
syrups and fruit toppings as well as coffee,
tea, milk and juice. $5 per person! This will
be a fundraiser for our youth and children
to attend retreats, camps and missions.
Stations of the Cross
This year during Holy Week we will
experience a Stations of the Cross Journey.
This is a journey taken to help us remember
and mediate upon the scenes of Christ’s
suffering and death. This will be an
individual prayer journey. We will have a
sign up for individuals, families, Sunday
School classes or groups to design a station
during Lent. These stations will consist of
scripture and visual representation of the
scene you are constructing. Use your
creativity and gifts God has given you to
express your station for others to
experience. Preparing a station can be a
wonderful spiritual experience during Lent
itself. We will also be asking for volunteers
to man the stations during the time it is
open. If you have any questions, please see
Tammy Grey.
