Saturday, March 29th 1:00-3:00pm Parish Hall Planning My Funeral: Have you ever thought about your funeral service? We think of Estate planning, Wills, POAs, but often not our own funeral service. What kind of witness would you like it to be? This is an opportunity to think of what kind of service you’d like to have, the hymns, the scripture readings…. This will be led by Rev. Lynn+, who did her first funeral planning workshop when she was 35.
Tuesdays in Lent with Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Once again, we are invited to join with our companion church, Good Shepherd Lutheran for worship, reflection, and fellowship over delicious food.

We are made in the image of God, who chose to share our humanity by joining in our embodied experience. Tuesdays March 11th, March 18th, March 25th, April 1st , and April 8, beginning at 3:00pm.
