Sign up for photo taking slots will begin on THIS Sunday, March 7th. Look for the table in the narthex or the page in the bulletin for more information.

9:30am Adult Education-The Disciplines of Lent…In our Ash Wednesday Liturgy we were invited to struggle against everything that leads us away from love of God and neighbors by exercising the Discipline of Lent: repentance, fasting, prayer and works of love. These become the specific occasions and opportunities for spiritual renewal during this Lenten season of renewal. On each Sunday in Lent we will look at a different component of the Discipline of Lent: February 28 – Repentance, March 7 – Fasting, March 14 – Prayer, March 21 - Works of Love. Join us in the Chapel at 9:30am!

Supplies are limited so please sign up on the back of the blue worship cards no later than Sunday, March 14th. Make checks payable to “Trinity Lutheran Youth” and give to the church office. For those who already have Resurrection Eggs but want to make a Jesse Tree, bring your eggs and join us!
