In addition, realizing that the book "The Purpose Driven Life" has been of tremendous value to many of us, the elders encourage everyone to read this devotional book during the season of Lent. Pastor Sweis is planning on focussing his sermons around the themes touched on in that book during Lent, and will lead a small group for those who have never read the book. Lent this year will begin on February 22 and end on March 31.
