LENT LEARNING SERIES STARTS IN MARCH.  Have you noticed the Lent Series poster in the Narthex? Ash Wednesday, March 1, will be here before you know it. Last year’s series given by the late Dr. Walter Bouman is a hard act to follow. However, O.S.U. Professor Dr. Sam Meier is a master teacher, scholar and speaker as well. His topic, “The Messiah in the Old Testament” promises to enhance our understanding of expectations of a Messiah at different times in the story of God’s people. We need volunteers for setup, soup making, cleanup and childcare. Check out the poster for details.
