MIDWEEK LENTEN WORSHIP - 2010

Plan to be a part of the special Midweek (Wednesday) Lenten Services planned for members of St Paul's and the greater Atlantic area. The services this year focus on the "Sign of Jonah" - the prophet Jonah and what his life and ministry (and hesitancy to listen to and obey God) would teach us.

Each service will begin at 7pm, preceded by a Hymn Sing at 6:45pm. We will serve soup, sandwiches, relishes, bars, and drinks each week preceding the services - your donations of various food items would be appreciated to make these suppers a rousing success. Proceeds from these suppers this year will go toward the Atlantic/Cass County "Kids Against Hunger" project - collecting $10,000 and using the proceeds to purchase the ingredients to create 40,000 healthful, nutritious meals to be sent to people in need in parts of the world that are hurting. Your donations at our Soup Suppers to help fund this project would be most appreciated!
