Lenten Study
Pastor Tracy will lead a Lenten Study at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday nights, beginning February 22. We will be studying Henri Nouwen's The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming. This beautiful book takes the story of the Prodigal and studies it through the image of Rembrandt's painting in his depiction of the familiar parable. There is a sign-up sheet on the pastor’s office door for ordering the book. Paperback copies are $10; e-book and audio versions are also available. Please invite your friends to join us, too.
