March 4th: Worship Gathering, Communion, Children’s Environment, and Fellowship Meal
We will meet at our regular time of 11:15am at The Well (1401 6th Ave) to share conversation, pray, and sing together. We’re continuing this Sunday in our lenten series on Covenant, looking at Moses & the 10 Commandments and we will share in communion together.

10:15am Sunday Morning Class on the Cross – Week 5 of 9
Have you contemplated the cross of Jesus? What happened there? What was said there? Starting February 4^th, Randy Rossomme will lead a study on the cross and the seven “words” from the cross. You are invited to participate each Sunday morning at 10:15am for nine weeks.

After the worship gathering – Learning to Tell Our Jesus Stories Workshop

We recognize that not all of us have had much practice sharing our testimonies, so we’re hosting a workshop/training time after the worship gathering on Sunday, March 4th. During this time we’ll walk through the basics of how to tell the story of when we were introduced to Jesus, and what difference he makes in our lives.
