Growing In Christ!  - Theme of Our Stewardship Drive.

As we move into our Stewardship Drive, remember Jesus Christ, who will always provide for us. Sometimes we are blessed in more ways than just our necessities. Indeed, all of life is truly a blessing. 

Thank you so much for remaining faithful in your giving and tithing. As we move from 2025 to 2026, we look forward to a great year in Christ. 

We ask you to prayerfully consider your commitment (pledge) to the Federated Church with a sense of gratitude, trust, and growth in 2026.

Please check our Commitment Sunday.

Thank you again.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, 40 days of reflection, prayer, and repentance. Jesus himself was in the desert for 40 days to fast and pray (Matthew 4:1–11) before he began his ministry.

As we enter into this season of Lent, we invite you to join us for the Ash Wednesday service at 7 pm and to focus on Jesus's life, ministry, sacrifice, and resurrection. This service will include the imposition of ashes and focuses on centering ourselves as we prepare to journey with Jesus to the cross and ultimately his resurrection on Easter morning. We hope you will join us for worship as we begin the season of Lent together!

Lent is

• Lent is a time to examine yourself and seek forgiveness for your sins. 

• Lent is a time to deepen your relationship with God.
