Ongoing through Palm Sunday
This Lent our congregation is exploring gratitude and reciprocity with the United Thank Offering. We have a Lenten calendar and resources for families to use during Lent to focus a bit of time each day reflecting on those things for which we are grateful and how we can add to the goodness they bring into the world around us. Resources (including the blue boxes) are available in the Narthex for those that would like to use them at home on their own. The inspiration for UTO materials this year are from the book The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
