From Advent to Easter....

Advent 1 is 12 days away and Ash Wednesday is 106 days away!  What memories will mark these special times where we wait for that precious baby Jesus and then find ourselves, very shortly thereafter' in 40 days of fasting, service and prayer.  Below you will find several opportunities to fellowship, times for quiet reflection, times for creative fellowship and reflection all at once.
