We continue our Lenten journey this week. At times, like Jesus carrying the cross, we may stumble and fall. Perhaps we did not complete our task today. Maybe we gave into temptation for something we gave up to become closer to Christ. It is time to try again. Start your task again and try to complete it. Continue to give up that thing that tempted you. Through this journey you will find growth that leads you closer to Christ. I am praying for you.

COVID - Message from last week
We are continuing to monitor and reflect on allowed changes released by the Indiana Department of Health and the Marion County Health Department. Though many schools have moved to optional masking, we are maintaining our current protocols related to masking in order to allow opportunities for increased volunteerism and more frequent all school gatherings in the church. Our methodical and intentional actions will continue to provide our nurses and staff with useful information as we move forward. To assist us in addressing this health risk, we ask that if your family has not yet been vaccinated please consider it: https://www.coronavirus.in.gov/vaccine/ .
