LENTEN “SOUP” SUPPERS AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT SERIES

Easter will be early this year, and our tradition of Soup Suppers and a Bible study during Lent will start on Ash Wednesday, February 6, at 6:30 p.m.in the Social Hall, followed by our Ash Wednesday service. The first supper will be a repeat of the Baked Potato and Toppings, Salad and Dessert Supper that we did for the Advent dinners and speaker series.

Lenten Soup SupperThe following 5 suppers will be on Wednesdays, February 13 through March 12. These suppers will be soups, bread and desserts as in the past. Sign up sheets will be circulated for people to bring soups, bread and desserts. Please plan to join us for all of the Soup Supper Series.

A donation of $5.00 for adults, $2.50 for children under 12, is requested to help defray costs.

Those bringing soups, bread or desserts will not be asked to donate.

Childcare will be provided each evening. Help is also requested with the clean-up. If you have questions regarding the Lenten Soup Suppers please ask any Mission Team member.

Following the meal, each evening will include an exploration of how we acquire and develop our faith. Each of us has a unique faith journey which has little to do with religious dogma. We will begin with an understanding of faith development, what it is and how each stage leads to the next.

hopefully discovery) about our faith development and spiritual gifts will be lead by Pastor Bob, and will be another growth opportunity along with fellowship.
