Pastor Jill invites everyone to join her Monday and Thursday evenings at 6:30 pm for “Prayer Connection” using Zoom. As a participant, you can use the general Zoom connection information on the front side of this page. Prayer Connection is a drop-in sort of session and no attendance is taken, so join us whenever you wish.
We are reminded by these gatherings how much we need each other and each other’s prayers!
Note: This week there will be no Prayer Connection at 6:30 on Ash Wednesday. Prayer Connection will resume next week at 6:30, but only on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the Lenten season.
Virtual Coffee Time is weekly each Wednesday afternoon at 3:00 pm. It is a BYOC (bring your own cup) kind of event, but there will be no agenda except to catch up with each other. Please join us on Zoom or dial in by phone.
Note: No Virtual Coffee this week on Ash Wednesday.
