First Mennonite Church invites all to attend their Lenten Evening Song and Prayer at 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 7 in the fellowship hall.
Similar in many ways to the traditional British Evensong, FMC's service is a contemplative time of worship at the end of the day and will focus on healing. During the service, participants will pause, pray, sing, and offer a few rituals to enter into this service of healing and hope. Oil, candles, and water will be available. Those attending may participate as little or much as they desire.
