and Ministry Fund, the Appeal Advisory
Team (with the approval of the Execuve Team)

On A Strong Foundaon,” we want to make sure
we strengthen that foundaon and tend to the
Operaons and Ministry Fund and this shorall

Our plan is to connue moving forward with the
building appeal in the near future. In the mean-
me, the Building Commiee connues to meet
with our architects, Benz/Thompson/Rietow, to
develop construcon plans and costs.

LENT BEGINS MARCH 1
Our Lenten journey at Word of Peace this year focuses on discipleship.
Beginning Ash Wednesday (March 1) and connuing in our
Sunday/Monday worship during Lent, our theme is “Building Your
Life in Christ.” We’ll explore the faith foongs of repentance, trust,
jusce, obedience, and generosity.
Celebrang the 500 th Anniversary of the Reformaon, our Wednesday
evening Lenten worship services will focus on Marn Luther’s
Small Catechism and the topics of the Ten Commandments, the
Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, Bapsm, and Holy Communion. And, as
always, we will have our Wednesday evening soup suppers
throughout Lent.
Come join in this Lenten journey of discipleship as we move toward
the cross of Good Friday.
A Fun and Rewarding Opportunity for All Ages!
The Holy Week Walk is an experienal worship service for people
of all ages to experience the last week of Jesus’ life. People travel
to several staons where they hear and witness the Holy Week
story. This worship service requires many parcipants to make the
week come to life!
We are looking for kids, youth, and adults of all ages to parcipate
as an actor or marketplace person, help in the kitchen, help with
set-up and take-down of sets, or work behind-the-scenes.
Rehearsals begin mid-March and the Holy Week Walk will take
place on Friday, April 14 at 10 AM, Noon, and 2:00 PM. Come bless
