Corps will preach to warm us up for the Lent season.

Wednesday. WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR EYES!!! Please wear a mask as
you drive up.

Watch your March emails for the schedule for Holy Week and Easter. Palm Sunday is March 28th. Maundy Thursday April 1st (this is not an April Fools joke), Good Friday April 2nd and Easter Sunday is April 4th. We are really hoping to be able to offer and outdoor Easter Sunday service, or if weather is a problem we will have some kind of drive up.
