Susan,

Thanks for taking care of this info.  Just a little correction:  My son, David (Dave) is deceased, my living sons are: Dale and Dwight.  Here's an update on Joyce.  They anticipate doing an MRI later today to determine any next steps.  The situation does not look good for her since she stopped breathing for several minutes.  If there are any changes, I'll let you know.

Ash Wednesday and Lent

The Lent Season is upon us!  Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday!  Hollydale will hold its Ash Wednesday Servicetomorrow at 7pm, following theWednesday Dinner.  Please plan to join us for dinner and fellowshipat 6pmand stay for the service to begin the Lenten season with worship, reflection, reconciliation and the imposition of ashes.  If you are unable to attend the7pmservice, there will be an offering of the Imposition of Ashestomorrow morning at 10:00 amat the church.

Attached please find a schedule of the Lenten Season sermons that will be shared by Pastor April, along with aLenten Timeline that explains a little bit about the Lent Season leading up the Easter Sunday.

You might ask……What's with the ashes?  The ashes remind us of our mortality and they are also our symbol of mourning and repenting for our sins. These are reminders of our need for a Savior.  The ashes placed on the shape of the cross on the forehead of each Disciple transform the ashes into our proclamation that we have such a Savior in Jesus Christ! Ash Wednesday is a vital and holy time as we begin the season of Lent. 

Have A BLESSED day and see you at dinner on Wednesday at 6pm!

The exploration team is going to meet four times to plan together.

The agenda for the meeting is below. Please continue to fast and pray for this meeting, the exploration team and our entire congregation that we would be guided by God to what will facilitate reaching and discipling those in our community for Christ.
