On February 18, you were invited to join in praying for others in our church family throughout Lent. Don’t let it scare you – the prayer can be as simple as, “God, I pray my church family will know your love.” It is not too late and you can still participate! Envelopes, containing names for prayer, have been placed on the table in the Narthex. Please take one and you are welcome to join the journey!
