Presbyterian Pantry - Month of March

Pantry volunteers ask for donations of chicken noodle & tomato soup. The Pantry is open on March 12 and March 26 from 10 am to noon. Please use the Howard Street entrance. 

For the season of Lent our congregation will study Pastor Brian McClaren's book We Make The Road By Walking (Wed. & Thurs.) and the daily reflections Awakening To God's Beauty, which is a series of reflections based on photographs (Sat.). The McClaren study invites us to live into our new life in Christ by reflecting on the teaching in the Sermon on the Mount. What does it mean to join in this adventure? You are invited to join any study time, and you do not have to purchase a book. Join us for a season of re-orientation to the life of a Jesus follower.
