Lent

LENTEN PRAYER SERVICES
IN-PERSON | Wednesdays during Lent at 4:30 PM in the Hailey classroom
As we enter the Lenten season of the Christian year, you are invited to participate in prayer in community on Wednesdays during Lent. We will meet on the following dates after Ash Wednesday: February 25, March 4, March 11, and March 25. We will offer a worshipful space and a brief service of guided meditation and prayer, prior to Family Night. Come to rest your soul for this brief respite of sacred sharing.

BAPTISM ON EASTER
IN-PERSON | Sunday, April 5 during worship in the Sanctuary
One of the most beautiful moments in the life of a Christ follower is their baptism. A tradition throughout the ages is for new believers to be baptized on Easter. As part of our celebration of Easter, we would love to celebrate with anyone ready to declare their faith in Christ through baptism on Easter Sunday. If you are interested in exploring this, please contact Carla Murray in the church office at (919) 645-6733. She can help you schedule a time to talk with one of the ministers.

ASH WEDNESDAY IMPOSITION OF ASHES
IN-PERSON | Wednesday, February 18 at 8:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 5:00 PM in the Chapel
Ash Wednesday is the beginning of the season of Lent, during which we symbolically prepare for the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Christians traditionally observe Ash Wednesday by wearing an ashen cross on their foreheads or right hands, symbolizing our need for God’s grace. Not only does the cross inform others that we place our faith in Christ, but it also invites conversations of faith into our daily routines. You are invited to come, worship, and participate. Please plan to use our new entrance to get to the Chapel.
