WEDNESDAY EVENING LENT SERIES CONTINUES.  This Wednesday, February 28, we worship in the Chapel beginning at 6 p.m.  The focus of the services are the Great Ends of the Church, part of the Preliminary Principles of our Church.

The great ends of the church are the proclamation of the gospel for the salvation of humankind; the shelter, nurture, and spiritual fellowship of the children of God; the maintenance of divine worship; the preservation of the truth; the promotion of social righteousness; and the exhibition of the Kingdom of Heaven to the world.

Wednesday, we take up “shelter, nurture, and spiritual fellowship.”  After a soup supper—bring a simple dish of “finger food” to share—we meet in the Parlor from 7:15 to 8:15 to hear Dr. Jeffrey Jaynes, Professor at Methodist Theological School of Ohio, continue probing the historic roots of Presbyterian Christians, taking a close look at Martin Luther and closer look at John Calvin.

DINNER GROUPS NOW FORMING. With the New Year comes a new opportunity to join a dinner group!  Dinner groups consist of six to nine individuals who get together to share meals and fun. Typically the groups will meet three or four times during the year, taking turns as host.  Most dinner groups operate as a potluck, but each group makes it own plan.  This year at least one group will dine out exclusively.  Sign up for dinner groups with the office.
