“Thursdays on the Path”
Guided Lenten Labyrinth Walks
 
 As we walk this path in Lent, let us be receptive to God’s message of the wilderness experience. Let us journey together as pilgrims in the knowledge that we walk with Jesus and are baptized into the commitment to share God’s love.
Walking a labyrinth is a wonderful Lenten discipline. Join fellow pilgrims each Thursday on a sacred labyrinth journey through Lent.

Interim Solar Panel Dedication Poster - New Dedications Now on Display!
Image item
We are thrilled at the support we have received for The Solar Panel Dedication Effort.  It continues to be an excellent opportunity for individuals, concerned about  our dependence on fossil fuels, to take action AND honor a loved one such a grandchild, parent or special friend. 
 
The interim poster is on display at the MacColl Auditorium but will likely rotate to other locations including the Narthex. 
 
We are thankful for all the dedications however, this week are will "spotlight" the following:         
  • Elizabeth P. Holmes - In Memory of Robert Calder Holmes III
  • Kay Sheldon - Endless, clean and green; Sunlight powers our Campus; Sheldons choose Solar.
  • Pam McKernan - In loving memory of Claire and Tom Trafford
  • Ann Bamford
  • Florence Everett
  • Brenda & Al Bott - Andrew and David Bott and their families
 
Each week, as new dedications come in, their names will appear on the poster.  At the conclusion of the effort, a permanent display will be crafted
