Keeping A Holy Lent:
Have you been looking for ways to keep a holy lent and giving up chocolate or that latte doesn’t do much for you? The Diocese of Missouri has provided 40 ways you can keep a holy Lent, connect with the Divine and reflect on what God is calling you to be and do. Maybe, just maybe, you may find yourself continuing well past Lent. May you be blessed in your journey
Stations of the Cross:
A 14-step devotional that takes us through Good Friday, the last day of Jesus’ life. Make a virtual meditative and prayerful pilgrimage through our worship space. At each icon on the wall, we stop for reflection and prayer for each step of Jesus’ journey to the cross, his death, and burial. You are also invited into the sanctuary to make this pilgrimage in person.

Glittering Images
Adult Christian Education Sundays at 9 a.m. in the LaVielle Conference Room Mo Virginia will continue her study of the book, Glittering Images each Sunday at 9 a.m. in the LaVielle Conference Room. Speak with Ginny if you need a book or feel free to join the class and learn from the discussion. Susan Howatch’s Book “Glittering Images” is the first of a series of books written after writer Howatch’s conversion to Christianity. Regarding this series, words from two reviews: “they arise out of Howatch’s own experience of conversion. Howatch emphasizes aspects of Christianity and spirituality that especially interest contemporary readers. She shows the Church as relevant to the world they live in changing in response to the changing times while remaining rooted in God.” “The story is a story of spiritual transformation and leaves the reader wanting to step into this journey for themselves.”
