Contextual Witnessing with E1HW (Every One His Witness). Learn how to naturally and genuinely share the Gospel with your friends and neighbors who have not heard the Good News. After this six week study, you will be more effective witnesses of Jesus in your everyday life! Sunday evenings on March 11, 18, 25 and April 8, 15 and 22. Each session will start with a dinner at 6:00 p.m. followed by the study at 6:30 p.m. We will meet in the church library. The class is limited to 30 so please sign up today. For more information, see Pastor Bob or see the brochure in the narthex, at the display.

Join us for the Thy Will Be Done special service for Week 1 of Lent. In this service we remember that, at first, Moses did not think he could free the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. But God gave him confidence to set his people free. In Lent we remember that God sent his Son to do his will and set all people free from the slavery of sin. Lenten services are at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. The Youth Board is serving a soup and sandwich luncheon at 11 a.m.
