SUMMARY:Lenten Bible Study
DESCRIPTION:Join us this Lent as we travel through the wilderness with the Desert Fathers and Mothers\, those early Christian pioneers who followed Christ and\, like Christ\, spent formational time in the wilderness. Together\, we will enter into 40 days of prayer\, simplicity\, and renewal as we prepare for Easter. Daily devotionals are available on the Lectio 365 app\, and we will also gather in the Fellowship Hall on Wednesdays in Lent for study and discussion starting February 18. Note that\, while regular sessions of this study will be at 11:00am\, the February 18 session will be at 10:30am to allow for the Ash Wednesday noon service.

SUMMARY:Ash Wednesday
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Wednesday\, February 18\, for a meaningful and intentionally different way to begin the season of Lent together. Traditionally\, Fat Tuesday is a final gathering before Lent begins\, a shared meal before a season of fasting\, reflection\, and repentance\, while Ash Wednesday marks the turning point of the Christian year and the beginning of our journey towards the cross and resurrection. This year\, we’re bringing Fat Tuesday’s spirit of togetherness into Ash Wednesday itself as we accept this season’s invitation to “stay awhile\, go easy\, and be filled with light.” Attend Ash Wednesday services offered at noon and 7:00pm and gather for a dinner of pancakes and bacon at 5:45pm. Let’s come eat together\, worship together\, and begin Lent together.

SUMMARY:Good & Beautiful Small Group Study
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to a Sunday morning small group study to explore The Good and Beautiful You by James Bryan Smith and discover the person Jesus created you to be. This journey invites us to rediscover who God really is and how God’s grace transforms our lives as we replace the false stories we tell ourselves about God with the truth revealed in Jesus Christ. The study meets on Sundays at 11:00am\, January 11–March 29. Books can be purchased on Amazon\, or you can pick up a copy from the church office. A children’s program is offered for kids in nursery through sixth grade to continue their faith journey with the Holy Moly curriculum.
