Wednesday, February 18
7pm | Sanctuary

Ash Wednesday is an ancient holy day in the Christian Church calendar and marks the beginning of Lent. Participants in the Ash Wednesday Service are invited to receive ashes in the shape of a cross on their foreheads. The ashes we receive remind us of what we most deeply share: our common humanity and our need for grace.

Saturday, February 21
11am | Great Hall

Children are encouraged to come and sit on the rug!

Peter and the Wolf is a musical fairy tale by Sergei Prokofiev that tells the story of a brave young boy who lives near a forest. When a hungry wolf appears, Peter cleverly works with his animal friends to outwit it.

In this performance, instead of a full orchestra, our new Great Hall organ will be showcased, along with percussion and narration, using a variety of sounds to bring each character and moment of the story to life.
