Ash Wednesday Service Cancelled
We are cancelling tonight’s Ash Wednesday service due to the evening’s anticipated icy conditions and frigid temperatures.
You can have an Ash Wednesday devotional time in your home, however. To link to a copy of the worship bulletin we would have used tonight, click here. For access to all the scriptures for the day, click here.
We remain committed to hosting Room in the Inn tonight and tomorrow night. While we are doing what we can to manage the ice and snow at the church, please be aware the Vine Street parking lot will likely be slippery.
