Lenten Series: Remember

Adult Education is offering a Lenten study on Sundays through April 13, 11AM, featuring Remember by Rev. Susan Robb. God’s covenants throughout the Old Testament show the character of God’s promises to the people of Israel. Rev. Robb discusses the covenants with Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David, followed by the new covenant established during the Last Supper.

The Lenten story culminates with a look at the cross as another example of God’s promise for a new world.

Join us in the Office Conference Room or on 
Zoom.

Adult Class on Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Join Adult Education for a six-part series, Sundays through April 13, 11AM, on Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The twentieth century produced many interesting and provocative theologians. Among the most influential is Dietrich Bonhoeffer of Germany. He lived concurrently with Adolf Hitler and was among Hitler's most insistent critics. He was imprisoned in January 1943 and hanged on April 8, 1945. In 1937 he wrote his most famous book, Discipleship, which has two central themes: Grace and Obedience.


Please join us as we take a look at this remarkable man and his understanding of theology. Classes will be led by Greg Hubert in Room 208. No registration is required.

Confirmation Class

Confirmation Class will meet on Sunday, April 13, 2–3PM, in Room 212.

Funeral Service for Carolyn Watkins

It is with heavy hearts that we share the death of our beloved sister in Christ, Carolyn Watkins.

For many years, Carolyn faithfully served our church as both the cook and the head of our custodial staff. Her warm meals nourished our CDC children and many church dinners and functions, as her dedicated hands lovingly cared for the house of the Lord. But beyond her work, Carolyn was a spiritual mother, a quiet warrior of faith, and a true pillar of strength within our community. She prayed for us, watched over us, and lived out her faith through her service, her kindness, and her unwavering love for others.


Her presence will be deeply missed, but her legacy of compassion, devotion, and grace will continue to live on. We take comfort in knowing that Carolyn is now at peace, resting in the arms of the Lord she served so faithfully. 

viewing will be held on Tuesday, April 15, 11:20AM–12:50PM, followed by a Service of Witness to the Resurrection1PM in the Woods Sanctuary. Please join us in honoring Carolyn’s life and lifting her family in prayer during this time of loss.

See You in Church!
