Take a break from the busy days to reflect on our Lenten journey and to give thanks for our faith. The services will be followed by an adult education forum. ADULT FORUM ON HOLY CURRENCIES: Six Blessings for Sustainable Missional Ministries is the focus for our Lenten series. Written by The Rev. Eric Law, an Episcopal priest, the book offers new insights into God's abundance by helping us explore the currencies of Relationship, Truth, Wellness, Gracious Leadership, Time and Place, as well as Money. Kimberly Axtell and Linda Taylor will lead our exploration. Reading the book is recommended but not required to enjoy the forum. The class will be offered three times each week: Sundays at 8:30am and 12n beginning Feb. 22, and Wednesday evenings at 8pm, beginning Feb. 25.
