Members of the Evangelism Committee would like to create a 2010 Lenten Devotional booklet and are asking members of our congregation to submit personal experiences that have brought them closer to God. As meaningful as particular passages from existing publications may be to many of us, the goal this year is to fill our booklet with personal accounts of moments where we realized God was reaching out to us as individuals and touched our lives. You may drop off your submissions in the office during business hours or place them in the Evangelism mailbox in the Wesley Room on Sunday mornings.
