“Groundwork is a resource for individuals, congregations and their leaders to assist them in engaging Holy Scripture and the mission of God?s Church… It asks congregational members and leaders to dig deeply into the soil of their mission so that they may do serious and joyful learning about the Gospel and their community of faith.”

Children and youth will focus on Lenten themes during the Sunday Morning Christian Education hour and will also be working with Kristopher Ables preparing to sing at the Easter Vigil.
