Once again, this year, we will gather under the theme Meeting Our Neighbours.  This will be on Wednesdays during Lent at 6 pm.  We will gather for a simple soup and bread supper with a different guest speaker each week.  Then we will end the evening with Holden Evening Prayer.  We should be finished by 8 pm each week. 

The dates this year will be March 13, 20, 27 and April 3 & 10.

The offering from each week’s prayer service is designated for the Cameroon Appeal, which supports all aspects of our relationship with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Cameroon.
