Attached please find a schedule of the Lenten Season sermons that will be shared by Pastor April, along with aLenten Timeline that explains a little bit about the Lent Season leading up the Easter Sunday.

You might ask……What's with the ashes?  The ashes remind us of our mortality and they are also our symbol of mourning and repenting for our sins. These are reminders of our need for a Savior.  The ashes placed on the shape of the cross on the forehead of each Disciple transform the ashes into our proclamation that we have such a Savior in Jesus Christ! Ash Wednesday is a vital and holy time as we begin the season of Lent. 

Have A BLESSED day and see you at dinner on Wednesday at 6pm!

“Paint Out Pain” of Color II is coming up on December 15th!

Think what a wonderful gift this would be to help someone who struggles with abuse. There are many who don’t recognize they are being abused, while others see it happening.

Below is a link that will provide you with the details and you can purchase tickets and register to attend. Pray for this event, those leading and attending, that it will open the eyes, hearts and minds of those who are needing it the most! Thank you.

P.O.P. "Paint Out Pain" will help you to see how to release the hurt of emotional, verbal, mental, physical and psychological abuse. Finally release these emotions in a creative, safe and freeing atmosphere.
