Join us each Wednesday evening
at 6:30pm, beginning February 25th, throughout the season of Lent
in the Commons for soup and bread supper, Bible conversation and fellowship.

We will be using the book, Water Marks,
by Diane L. Jacobson

Water Marks
is a
40 day Lenten devotional book
that explores the use of water and water imagery throughout the scriptures.

Purchasing the book is not necessary, but if you would like to use a book for a personal devotional journey this Lent, we will have some available at the church for purchase ($10) OR you can purchase your own copy by clicking here.
Continuing with this theme, the Service and Mission Team will also be inviting
us to participate in the ELCA World Hunger Walk for Water Campaign.
When our high school youth and adult leaders travel
to Detroit this summer for the ELCA Youth Gathering, they will have the chance to experience the ELCA
World Hunger’s Walk for Water display during their time in the interactive center. This display includes
an unforgettable walk around a track, designed to simulate the experience of people who must travel miles from home to collect water for their families
and raises questions about access to clean water
here in the U.S.


We can support our youth by collecting pocket change over the season of Lent. During the next few weeks,
you will receive a water cup that you can put on your dining room table. The challenge is for us to fill a big water bottle with change. We can do that by filling these cups up with our pocket change and bringing them in to church and watch the change grow. This money will be sent with our youth to Detroit to give to the ELCA Walk for Water project on our congregation’s behalf. Our gifts will provide water for drinking, growing crops and sanitation, as well as ongoing maintenance and training, to create healthier families, stronger economies and a future filled with hope.


The ELCA has a goal to raise $500,000 for ELCA World Hunger-supported water projects around the world, together we can make a difference.
