Tonight, April 9 at 5:30 pm

Mid Week Manna Extended Pot Luck Meal 


In remembrance that Jesus had a long last meal with his friends before his Passion, we too want to just share a good meal together. The church will provide ham for dinner prepared by Brian Johnson. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share. 


All ages will enjoy an extended meal together. There will be no organized lesson, just quality time as a group! A family art project will also be offered.

Stations of the Cross

This Evening


Join us at 5:00 pm in the church for Stations of the Cross. This will be our last Wednesday Stations walk this Lenten season.

Readers Needed


We will walk the outdoor Stations of the Cross on Good Friday, April 18 at 5:00 pm. Using the We Were There: A Way of the Cross program, each station will require two readers - a presider and a main reader. Please call the office to sign up! (850) 433-0074.
