God has a heart for the orphan, the widow, the poor, and the sick. He cares for the most vulnerable and marginalized people. We want to be Christ-like and do the same. So each year, our Family of Churches rallies around our partner organizations for Serve the City Weekend. 

This year, Serve the City will take place on Saturday, March 22, so save the date on your calendar!

We will celebrate Ash Wednesday with two identical services at 6 am and 7 pm on Wednesday, March 5 at 1800 Blanding St.

Traditionally, Ash Wednesday is the day Christians gather to receive ashes marked on their forehead. Ashes represent lamenting, whether over one’s sin or sin done to them. (Gen 18:27, Job 30:19, Job 42:6, Isaiah 61:3). This day is in no way about condemnation. It’s a time in which we can be honest with God, with ourselves, and with each other. 

Childcare will not be available.
