Lenten Study:  For the six Wednesdays in Lent from February 22nd – March 28th, Student Minister Elaine will be facilitating a six-week small group study that will explore God’s grace at work in our journeys of faith.  We will follow several characters in the Gospel of John and connect their biblical witness with our own experiences of God’s grace.  This is an experiential program in which participants will have short exercises to do each day.  Each Wednesday we will gather from 7-9 p.m. to share insights and then move deeper in our explorations.  There is room for up to ten participants who will commit to the full six weeks.   For more information and to SIGN UP please contact Elaine at emc1.0@juno.com.
