Our Lenten journey began tonight.

We began our Lenten journey tonight. Since 2000 we have joined forces with Central Baptist, First Congregational, Lee Memorial, Park Congregational and United Congregational to host six mid-week services during Lent. It has been a pretty good experience.

Tonight we began at First Congregational and Rev. Bill Dunlap preached the sermon. All of the clergy took part in the service. It included special music by the church's choir and bell choir and the distribution of ashes. There were close to one hundred people present.

The services are always interesting but one of the nicest aspects of the event is connecting with old friends who worship in our sister churches. For a few weeks we get to worship together. We also get to make some new friends. I think it is one of the best things we do as a church. It's an opportunity to live like the body of Christ. I only wish more people would come out and enjoy the experience.

Next week we will be at Lee Memorial United Methodist on Washington Street. Come and experience the body of Christ.
