Join us during Lent for a study on PRAYER, Does it make a difference?

How do we pray?  Why do we pray?  What motivates and inspires us.

During this holiest time of the Christian year we can develop a closer prayer relationship with God through this inspirational study.

Starting March 12th & 13th and continuing through the end of Lent (Sat, Apr 23).

Saturdays at 4:00 pm and Sundays at 9:15 am

The Church will be holding a blood drive at the church on March 27th.  The blood drive will be with the Community Blood Center.  The time will be announced at a further date.    Please mark this on your calendar so if you are a regular donor you can give at our drive.  If you would like to donate, please contact the church office or sign up in the back of the sanctuary.

Barry Ketcham grandson of Doris Landis, son of Denise Ketcham, who was raised in this church, has Asberger's Syndrome, a type of autism.  Barry has been chosen to be the child spokesperson for their fund raiser walk in April in Wichita.  This walk is sponsored by Heartsprings and is a state wide fund raiser.

Why We Walk…We walk to make a difference! We are walking in the 2011 Autism CARE Walk at Heartspring to support children and families affected by autism spectrum disorders. We will walk to make a difference on April 2, 2011! The CARE Program is an exceptional program that provides much needed services and support to families and children in our area. By walking and helping to raise money in support of Heartspring's CARE Program, we can make sure that families affected by autism spectrum disorders can continue to receive the support and services that they so desperately need.

Did you know?  Autism costs the nation more than $35 billion per year, a figure expected to significantly increase in the next decade. More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than AIDS, Diabetes and Cancer combined! Despite ongoing research there is still no cure for autism. Autism now affects 1 in 110 children, and 1 in 70 boys.

Ash Wednesday Service is this Wednesday March 9th at 7pm. The first day of Lentand occurs 46 days (40 days not counting Sundays) before Easter. It is a moveable fast, falling on a different date each year because it is dependent on the date of Easter. It can occur as early as February 4 (February 5 on leap years) or as late as March 10.

Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of adherents as a sign of repentance. The ashes used are typically gathered after the Palm branches from the previous year's Palm Sundayare burned. The minister who presides at the service to make the sign of the cross, first upon his or her own forehead and then on those of congregants.
