Lenten Pauses: Throughout Lent, the Ministry Team will offer a time of scripture, reflection, music, and prayer online weekly. These pauses are inspired by The Hardest Part, a Group guide from The Everything Happens Project and Kate Bowler. These videos will be posted on Gower’s YouTube Channel at 10:00 a.m. on Fridays throughout Lent. Click Here for the Fourth video.

Bless this Lent: Join Rev. Rebecca to explore using The Hardest Part during this season of Lent. Kate Bowler and her team at Everything Happens Project offer this study. Together, we will embrace Lent as it is—raw, honest, and tender. This is the season that asks us to stop pretending we’re holding it all together. It’s a time to pause, sit with what’s fragile and unfinished, and let God meet us in the hardest parts of our lives. Thursday evenings, starting on Thursday, March 6th, at 7:00 p.m. on Zoom. Contact Rev. Rebecca for the Zoom link.

Bulletin Dedications: The Worship and Sacraments Committee invites members of our faith community to help with the cost of printing weekly bulletins. It costs us approximately $15.00 to have color-printed bulletin covers. You may dedicate a bulletin of any Sunday in memory of a loved one, in celebration of a significant event, or in celebration of a life's milestone. The name of Memoriam/Celebration/Milestone and Donor will appear in the bulletin on the specified Sunday. Please forward any donations to the church office and contact SuAn, the office administrator, during office hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. via email (gsuc@nl.rogers.com) or phone 709-753-7286 ext. 200.
