upcoming events & announcements Lent 2019: A Sacrifice of Praise Our 2019 Lent Guide, focused on bringing God a sacrifice of praise and designed to help us walk through this season together as a church is available at the back of the Sanctuary. As a church family we want to bring a sacrifice of praise to the Lord in this season. Each Sunday we will take the gratitude and adoration that has welled up in our souls through our daily prayers of examen and pour it out in praise to our Lord. Use the praise cards included in the Lent Guide to express your gratitude to God for the ways you experienced His presence over the past week. Then tear out your card and bring it to church with you. On Sundays and Wednesdays, there will be boards posted around the church on which you can pin your praises. We hope this communal demonstration of God’s presence will be encouraging. Blessed2Bless Prayer Gathering March 11 | 10:30am-12:00pm | Rm 251 Neighborhood Bible Studies (NGS2go.com) has re-launched their website with new (gender neutral) 2Go Bible Studies. We’ll walk you through the new materials and options and then spend time in prayer for all the Lord is doing through this outreach.
