EVENING WORSHIP

Lenten Healing Service

Scripture Reading: John 3

WELCOME TO UNITY CHURCH! May Christ's love swell your hearts with compassion and grace as you seek Him! Let your worship pour out as a sweet offering of thanksgiving for His love shown to each one of us!

TONIGHT at 5:00pm, we will have a Lenten Healing Service, combining our Ash Wednesday service and a service of prayer for healing. We invite everyone to come together for a time of personal reflection but also corporate prayer to ask God for healing of mind, body, and soul. If you or someone you love needs or desires prayer, please invite them to join with us. There will be a time of worship, followed by prayers for those requesting prayer, concluding the evening with communion together.

Thank You for Your Support

Once again the cold hard winds of life are blowing around us, but God is keeping us all warm and content, enfolded in His loving arms. We would like to thank everyone for their prayers, cards, food brought, and words of comfort at the sudden and unexpected death of Alvina. She is free to all of her earthly struggles and is now safe in the arms of Jesus. -- The family of Alvina Ahrenholz
