I Am Study: March 3 – April 14

Join us in worship as we explore the I Am saying of Jesus

In the gospel of John we hear Jesus say I am…  The I am statements include, “I am the bread of life and I am the light of the world.”

Starting on March 3, we begin a series on the I Am statements. This is the focus of worship as well as the adult Sunday School hour. There are three adult classes offered on this topic, and we use the book The God We Can Know by Rob Fuquay.  Books are on sale February 17, February 24, and March 3.

Ash Wednesday: March 6

Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on March 6.  This year we again have two opportunities for Ash Wednesday worship.

The first is Ashes On the Go at Watermark Books.  From 7-9 am Pastor Catherine Neelly Burton is at Watermark to mark you with ashes as you start your day.  This is an opportunity for you to share your faith both by wearing your ashes and by making a public witness at our neighborhood bookstore.  It’s a come and go time, though you’re welcome to get breakfast and stay for a while.

At 7 pm we gather in the Grace Sanctuary for an Ash Wednesday service that includes the imposition of ashes, Holy Communion, and music from our choir.
