LENTEN SERVICES – Each Wednesday during Lent at 7:00 P.M.  The theme of our mid-week Lenten services will be “The Hard Sayings of Jesus.” We will discover what makes these passages hard to understand and hard to follow. We will also explore the connection of these teachings of Jesus and the Kingdom of God. There will not be fellowship time after services this year.
