PRAYER ROOM
During this Lenten season, you are invited to slow down, breathe deeply, and meet with God through a series of interactive prayer stations. Each space offers a different way to engage—through Scripture, reflection, creativity, confession, intercession, and praise. Move at your own pace. Let the Holy Spirit guide you. Whether you come with joy, questions, sorrow, or hope, may this be a place where you encounter the God who sees you, knows you, and invites you deeper into His love.
The Prayer Room is available throughout Lent and especially
on Sunday evenings during 5pm Prayer.
SPRINGTIME FOOD DRIVE
Glen House Food Pantry’s mission is to provide essential groceries and support to our neighbors at risk of hunger. GE Cov families along with Ark families have provided a great amount groceries, or donated financially in support of this mission in the past. We have another opportunity to participate in this vital program! We will soon provide you with a shopping bag for your convenience which will be located in Higher Grounds, with a suggestion of needed items.
Filled grocery bags should be returned no later than Sunday April 12
Thank you in advance for participating!

ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL MARCH 22
Wise Living:
An Exploration of Biblical Wisdom
Join us for this final week of a 5 week series
led by Pastor Dawn and Dr. David Lauber
Through an exploration of Old Testament Wisdom - Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Job - we will learn what it means to fear the Lord, live with integrity in a confusing world, and exhibit humility and integrity in the midst of suffering. We will also reflect on the teachings and life of Jesus. Together we will identify how true wisdom - the wisdom that comes from above - is practical, ethical, and theological.
