Our Lenten programming for 2005 will be held on the Sunday evenings of Lent; February 13, February 20, February 27, March 6, March 13 and March 20. Each evening we will gather at 5 PM for supper. We will begin on Sunday, February 13, with a covered dish supper so — bring a dish to share — beverages and dessert will be provided.
If you cannot be present for the meal you are welcome to attend the programs which begin at 6 PM every Sunday. It's not necessary to be present at all of the sessions in order to benefit but, obviously, it helps. Two adult study programs will be offered:
