UPCOMING EVENTS:
-
Ash Wednesday – Wednesday, March 5. Ash Wednesday marks the first day in the season of Lent: a season of reflection, repentance and renewal that prepares us for a fuller and more joyful experience of Jesus’ resurrection on Easter. We begin our Lenten Sermon Series with our evening worship service, “Meeting Jesus at the Table” at 7:30 pm. There will be Ashes To Go, 12:00 to 1:00 pm in the Front Entrance Round-About.
-
Upcoming Sermon Series – Wednesday, March 5 – Sunday, April 13. In the season of Lent, we will explore Meeting Jesus at the Table. Tables are important places of human connection. We’re often most fully alive to life when sharing a meal around a table. Jesus spent a lot of his time around tables–welcoming people, feeding people, illustrating what life in the Kingdom is like. He even turned over a table or two! Come take your place this Lent, at the table of grace.
- Habitat For Humanity – Next work date is Saturday, March 8. Do you enjoy doing handy work? Or do you wish you knew how to do handy tasks around your home? The Glen Mar Habitat Crew welcomes you to join us, either way. Contact Adrienne Taylor to learn more or to sign up at ha*****@********mc.org.
