The Lenten Season Has Arrived!

February 15, 2013 - 4:54pm

What a meaningful Ash Wednesday service we were able to share together at the start of the Lenten Season on February 13! Youth Minister Katie Kiss inspired us with reflections on how the words of the Old Testament prophet Amos shed light on living our faith with integrity today.

Ash Wednesday Worship Service

February 8, 2013 - 9:23am

Wednesday, February 13, at 7:00 pm, we join together for an Ash Wednesday service. Youth minister, Katie Kiss will bring the message, and the Connection Choir will sing.

The service includes time for personal prayer and reflection, and the Imposition of Ashes, an ancient ritual of having our forehead touched with palm ashes to remind us of our human nature and our need for Christ.

Join us for this special service, which marks the beginning of Lent.

Spring Tea - Quilt Stories

January 8, 2013 - 3:11pm

The Annual Spring Tea will be held on Saturday, April 6th from 2 to 4 pm in the church gym.

We will enjoy tea and refreshments (including tea sandwiches and chocolate fountains!) as we celebrate quilts. Chris Hudson will talk about how she creates beautiful quilts. We will have quilts on display from many of the talented quilters in our congregation. If you have a quilt you would like to share with us, bring it along and tell your story. Attendees will decorate fabric squares which will be made into a commemorative quilt, and we will have special activities for children.

Bring your friends with you for an afternoon of fun and fellowship. Tickets, which are $15 for adults and $8 for those 12 and under, will be available Sunday mornings in the parlor beginning March 10th.

Proceeds from this year’s tea will benefit the Worship Work Area and the Guatemala Connection group.

If you have a teapot or two you would be willing to lend us, please let us know.

If you have questions or need more information, please contact Andi Kinsella or Nancy Bifulco. We hope to see you there!
