Lenten Food for the Body and Soul
Begin to plan your time of Lent around Wednesday evenings here at First Congregational Church.
We have a dynamic program put together that will appeal to all ages. Dinner will be served at 6 each week beginning February 24th. The cost will be $7.00 and anyone under 10 is FREE. We will finish by 7:45.
Wednesday February 24th will feature a Gospel Choir
Wednesday March 3rd Val Tutson will return to tell Lenten stories…a great time for kids.
Wednesday March 10th you will find a floor sized Bible Trivial Pursuit Game in the center of Pilgrim Hall. Each table will be a family team so make plans to come with friends. We have kid friendly questions.
Wednesday March 17th will feature the Shaws and Blue Grass songs to lift the spirit. Yes, the menu includes corned beef and cabbage.
Wednesday March 24th “The Path to Holy Week” will be an offering of spiritual reflections by members of the congregation (multigenerational) each one followed by a musical offering also from members of the congregation and then prayer.
Hopefully this will enrich our journey toward Easter and bring us together as a church family.
