We were very blessed by our first Lenten Worship Service of the season! Reverend Sara Shaver recited a dramatic monologue of the story of The Woman at the Well. Following her monologue, the congregation received
the Imposition of Ashes. Our Ash Wednesday service was a wonderful introduction into the season of Lent!

Prayer Concerns
Night to shine “thank you” From Meagan Chapman and Susan Owens: Last Fall, our congregation was challenged to take the steps of extravagant faith and be good stewards of God’s gifts. On February 7, we opened our doors to our community, participated in a worldwide event, and rose to the challenge. The Night to Shine prom, sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation for individuals with special needs, was a phenomenal night of opportunities to demonstrate Radical Hospitality, Passionate Worship, Intentional Faith Development, Risk Taking, Mission and Service, and Extravagant Generosity. We are so blessed to have a part in this event, and we can NEVER thank the 200 plus volunteers for their time, talents, and financial support. This event takes ALL of us and we are so grateful!
Top floor Youth “thank you” From Mrs. Lynn and Top Floor Youth: A list of those providing desserts for the auction on March 1 was provided in last week’s bulletin. Those making soups for lunch include Angie Adams, Lynn Carrington, Linda Elliott, Patty Fenn, Angie Ganey, Nancy Gresco, Pam Lopez, Ray Lopez, Ashley Moates, Melissa Perault, Petra Prazinko, Melinda Rein, Pary Sumlar, Trin Sumlar, Paula Teeter, Donna Tharp, Amy White, and Susan Wright. Making sandwiches were Petra Prazinko and Les Perault. We also appreciate Jim Fenn being the auctioneer and Amy White being our decorator. Thank you to all of these individuals and those providing desserts for their willingness to serve and support Top Floor Youth! Philippians 1:3
