Lent & Easter

The Lenten Season
As we focus on what Christ has done for us in His death and resurrection, let us also share with others who are in need. We are collecting food for
Gainesville Community Ministries and soft-sided Bibles (used or new, but no writing inside) to distribute at the Alachua County Jail. We have a blue bin in Gordon Hall for your donations. You may also provide donations or gift cards (Walmart, Target, or gas cards) for families at Family Promise and St. Francis House. Please label and place in the
offering or bring to the church office. Thank you!
