This year we will NOT follow the previous pattern of weekly gatherings on the five Wednesdays of Lent. This year all five services will take place during Holy Week (Monday, April 2 through Friday, April 6). Worship will start at noon each day with a prepared lunch afterward at 12:30PM. All services will be hosted by Thalia Trinity Presbyterian Church on N. Thalia Road across from Thalia Elementary School. Again this year Thalia Trinity Presbyterian Church, Thalia Lynn Baptist Church and Thalia United Methodist Church will share in sponsoring these services.
Why not make Holy Week 2012 a special, spiritual encounter as we follow Jesus each day during this critical time in his ministry.
Children and Youth Ministries still have plenty of cookbooks for sale. All proceeds go to support Thalia's Children and Youth programs.
Hosted by the Good News Sunday School class, proceeds from this dinner will benefit the Thalia Capital Campaign. Wear your "Green" and bring your family and friends.
We are collecting cans of food (not just soup) for Thalia's Food Pantry. Put your cans in your favorite team's box - just outside the side Sanctuary entrance. The winner will be announced in services, Sunday, February 5. Then watch the real Super Bowl that evening and see if your prediction was right! No matter who wins, the real winner will be the Thalia Food Pantry.
Our youth will be traveling to this year's District Youth Retreat at the Rockbridge Alum Springs Young Life Retreat Center in Goshen, Va. They will leave Friday, Jan 27 and return Sunday, Jan 29. Please cover this event in prayer; God has some awesome blessings for our youth. Call Sarah Callahan if you have questions.
