Sunday, March 19, 2023 – Today is the Fourth Sunday in Lent and the liturgical color is violet.
Nursery Care – The routine for nursery care has changed slightly. Nursery care
remains available. Instead of proceeding directly to the nursery, first please check in at the welcome center. A nursery volunteer will be at the desk. Signs to this effect will also be posted.
Sunday School – As we move through the season of Lent, Christian Formation will be focused on the parables of Jesus: the lost coin, the prodigal son, the Good Samaritan and the workers in the Vineyard. For each lesson the teachers create age appropriate activities which in addition to being engaging also tell the story of our faith.
Heifer Project Giving calendars and collection boxes are available in the CE Office or in the classrooms for this traditional collection to help families in need around the world.
