Lenten Evening Services 2007

This year, we will again share with Bethlehem, Emmanuel , and United churches in our evening Lenten worship. The theme for our services this year is: “Songs and Stories” We will be focusing each evening around a particular favorite hymn, reflecting on the stories of those who wrote and composed the hymn, as well as the Biblical stories that are in the background of the content of the hymn. As we did last year, we will hold the services, preceded by supper, on Wednesday evenings. We will meet at 5:30 PM for a simple meal, and worship will begin at 6:30 PM. Confirmation students are required to attend these services, in place of their usual Wednesday evening classes The Ash Wednesday service will be a traditional service at 7 PM, and does no include a meal. The schedule is as follows:
