Ash Wednesday, March 5 — worship services at 12:30pm and 6:00pm

We will gather in the sanctuary for a meditative service, where each person will be invited to travel among six stations to reflect on the meaning of ashes: loss, mortality, emptiness, weakness, repentance, and purification.

As we close our time together, worshipers will be invited to receive the sign of ashes on their hand or forehead.

Art for the Heart: A Lenten Series of Creativity and Reflection

Thursdays, 5:30–7pm, March 6 – April 10

Join us on Thursday evenings beginning on March 6 to explore ways to nourish faith through the creative arts. We’ll gather in the Upper Lounge at 5:30 for a simple supper, then move to the art studio at 6:00 for the evening activity, exploring ways that we can connect to God’s love and purpose through pottery, watercolor painting, a drum circle, coloring Easter Eggs in the Lithuanian style, and working with fiber arts to create beauty. Rev. Paul Huh will reprise his meditation on the potter and the clay in Jeremiah 18, Jessica Lane will demonstrate watercolors, Elikem Nyamuame will lead a drum circle, etc. There will also be daytime studio hours for those who wish to spend more time or who cannot come to the Thursday gathering — watch for more details!
