Something New...Again
Are you interested in reviving the midweek Lenten dinners? It would be a simple supper of soup, salad, and bread. Please sign up on the sheet in the Narthex, so we can gauge interest. The Lenten Suppers would be 5 PM on Tuesdays (March 11, 18, 25, April 1, 8). There will also be a Maundy Thursday event (March 17, Time TBD)
Lenten Bible Study
If you are interested in a Lenten Bible Study, please sign up on the sheet in the Narthex. We can meet on Sundays, or midweek by Zoom. Alternatively, we can combine the Studies with the Midweek Lenten Suppers, if there is enough interest. We will look at Jewish symbolism in Lenten scriptures.
Women's Group - Saturday March 8th, 10am at UPB
Please join us in the narthex as we chat, enjoy a few bites of goodies and coffee, and join in a short bible study. All materials are provided. Just bring yourself and a friend. It's a great way to introduce those who are not involved in the church to meet us, and to invite those who come to other events and to come a bit closer.

The Ladies Lunch will take place at 11:30am on Wednesday, March 8th at First Watch. Please Let Sharon Doughty know if you and a friend are coming. The following lunch will be Wednesday October 2nd.
