Lent Mission:  Care Kits for the Homeless - We are soliciting donations through Lent and then groups from each church will assemble items after Easter into packages which will be made available for you to keep in your car to hand out to anyone in need. You may either donate cash or check to your church (designate “Lent” on envelope or memo line), or if you prefer, bring in purchased items on Sunday mornings or during office hours. Here is a list of items requested:

Packaged tuna and chicken

Peanut butter cracker or cheese cracker packs

Socks

Band-Aids

Applesauce or fruit cups

Box of raisins

Protein bars

$10 McDonalds or DD gift cards

Hard candies

Friendship bracelets, other gifts

Bookmarks for Luke Through Lent - The sermon series this Lent will focus on the Gospel of Luke. The whole congregation is invited to read together through the Gospel of Luke. The readings are available on 2026 Lent Reading Bookmarks at each church or you can print your own.
