Puget Sound Public Farms has officially broken ground on their project at our church! If you’re interested in lending a hand, please reach out at www.pspfarms.org. Each weekly volunteer day will feature a one-hour lesson on various gardening topics, followed by hands-on activities in the garden. It’s a fantastic way to learn about sustainable gardening…

Ash Wednesday derives its name from the practice of blessing ashes made from palm branches blessed on the previous year’s Palm Sunday, and placing them on the heads of participants. It is the beginning of the season of Lent—a time for reflection and renewed devotion to God.
Maundy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles. On this day, we remember the Last Supper. During the meal Jesus took bread and wine and shared them with his disciples.
