Wednesday, February 18
Noon Traditional Service in the Chapel
6:30 p.m. Traditional Service in the Sanctuary
All are invited to begin the holy season of Lent and our journey to Easter with this service of prayer and reflection. Ashes on the forehead are a sign of our humanity and a reminder of our mortality, as well as our faith in divine grace and forgiveness. Following the service in the chapel at noon, we will be offering a soup lunch in Fellowship Hall. All are welcome!

Starting February 25 at 6:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall
This Lent, step into a Lenten Life Group, meeting for five weeks beginning February 25, and join others in an engaged, thoughtful exploration of faith. Together, we will explore the theme Moments that Matter, engaging scripture and weekly reflections as we consider how small, faithful choices shape a life of discipleship. These groups are built for lively conversation, shared discovery, and learning together as we wrestle with the questions that shape our lives. Life Groups are a place to bring curiosity, listen deeply, and be stretched by perspectives beyond your own. No preparation is required, just a willingness to show up and engage.

February 25 at 6:30 p.m. in the Chapel
You’re inviting to an evening of thoughtful conversation and reflection with Amanda, author of Holy Unhappiness and A Hole in the World. Drawing from her writing and lived experience, Amanda will explore what it means to live a life of faith amid the very real struggles of being human. Together, we’ll consider how our culture defines happiness—and how Christ offers a different vision; why unhappiness is so often treated as failure; how grief, lament, and naming our sorrow can be acts of worship; and the difference between hope and optimism. The evening will include time for audience questions and shared conversation, creating space for honesty, depth, and grace.

A Community Conversation on Mental Wellness
March 4 at 6:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall Room 203  or watch on Zoom
Join us for a warm, welcoming conversation about mental wellness and hope. Together with NAMI Charlotte, the local affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, we’ll share a brief, down-to-earth look at mental health in our community and how NAMI’s peer-led, grassroots work supports individuals and families affected by mental health conditions. You’ll hear practical, compassionate ways to care for yourself or someone you love, learn about free local resources like the NAMI Navigator, and have space for questions and open conversation. This gathering is non-clinical, judgment-free, and rooted in the simple truth that no one has to walk alone.
