Pastor Ed has written a devotional book for Lent called, Journey with Jesus:  From Ashes to Easter.  There is a reading for every day during Lent.  Lent is a season of slowing down—of listening more carefully and allowing God to do a deeper work within us.  This devotional was written to help you walk intentionally with Christ, from repentance and reflection to renewal, hope, and resurrection life.   Throughout this journey, you are invited to use the QR code included in this book.  It links to a collection of worship songs created to accompany this daily devotional.   These songs are offered as a companion to Scripture and prayer—not as a requirement, but as an invitation.  Please pick up a copy today.  There is a devotional for each day of Lent.  The book is available on the table near the sanctuary.

Tithing envelopes are available in the hallway near the sanctuary.  Remember that the new envelopes start in March of 2026.  Continue using your current box until end of February 2026.  

The 2025 Church Directory is now available.  It is the 2025 year in review plus the current membership, birthdates and anniversaries  They are available on the table as you go into the Sanctuary.

Bible Study  resumed January 13.  It is every Tuesday at 7 PM at Alicia's house.  We will be starting a new study so it's the perfect time to jump in.    Please call the church, 419-222-6700, for the address.  All are welcome.
