The Fruits of Easter –
A Sermon Series for Lent
Easter Lilies
Again this year, our lilies will have even more meaning. We have decided to add to the cost of each lily and use these proceeds to benefit orphans with medical supplies. So while we celebrate the resurrection, we will also be ministering to orphans in need. The lily alone will be $11.00, anything given over that amount will be given to our orphan mission. Please call Cheri at the church office at 336-1649 to place your order, and please let us know if this is in memory of, or honoring someone.
Lenten Bible Study and Soup Supper
The Six Great Ends of the Church
Dinner begins at 5:00pm and the study begins about 5:35pm. Like last year, the Lenten series will be hosted on our website and in podcast form. See the Church website for more information.
