Lent Daily Devotional
Lent in Plain Sight by Jill Duffield
Join us in reading Lent in Plain Sight: A Devotion through Ten Objects by Jill Duffield. We will study 10 ordinary objects that Jesus would have encountered on his way to Jerusalem. Sunday sermons and children’s lessons will focus on these same objects. You can purchase the book at a.co/d/gZ7ZxAa or through most online sellers.

New Realm Groups!
You are invited to join the Refrigerator Door & the Dinner Table!
We have started two new groups in Realm that are meant to be casual, open spaces for us all to share our highs and our lows - the moments we might pin to the fridge door and the moments we would share around the table. In this way, we can be in community with one another, offering support and sharing joys.
To join, search🔎 for the group name (Refrigerator Door or Dinner Table) and select "Join". Posts will appear in your Realm newsfeed. You will be able to post, like, and comment on each other's posts!

Palm Sunday is April 2, and the children will be processing in with palm leaves during 11:00 a.m. Sanctuary worship once again! We will gather in the courtyard at 10:45ish to hand out palms and the children will process into the sanctuary waving their palms. Be sure to RSVP your kids!
The Youth Summer Mission Trip will be July 17-21 in Savannah, GA! We will be staying on Tybee Island, and for our mission work, we will work with a local non-profit organization that contracts through the City of Savannah. Cost is $225.
