Lent
The Children did an amazing job with the Lenten prompt, “Sensing God’s Grace.” Their artwork is still on display in the Simpson Room, and we highly encourage you to look at them, read them, and experience the feelings and thoughts they expressed on paper.
Holy Week begins next week with Palm Sunday, and there will be four more ecumenical services left.
We are inviting our SUMC children and youth to submit something creative as we approach Easter.
The Add1 Lenten prayer window of the week, as selected by the SUMC youth group/confirmation class, is as follows: first-responders.
The Add1 Lenten prayer window of the week, as selected by the 11:00 am Children’s Church group, is as follows: “Friends.”
