Tonight’s Ash Wednesday worship has been cancelled.

You are invited to participate with your family and friends in “Ash Wednesday at Home.”

Practice Makes Perfect: Lent 2015 @ FVUMC
Every week during Lent you will be receiving an email that encourages you and your family to engage in a different spiritual practice for that week.
The email will provide some information about that spiritual practice, and it will provide 3 different ways that you could engage in that practice as a family. Our hope is that everyone in our church body does 1 of these 3 things each week to engage in a different spiritual practice.
Look for the Practice Makes Perfect email this weekend for our first practice, fasting. Our other practices during Lent are meditation, confession, solitude, and service.
