Ash Wednesday - February 17, 2010
On Ash Wednesday, congregations often gather to take part in a solemn service. The day is named because of the practice of placing ashes or making the sign of the cross with them upon the forehead to remind us of our human frailty and also as a sign of our penitence.
To order palm ash, check you local Christian bookstore. You can find additional resources at this online store.

Week of Witness - March 28-April 4
March 28-April 4, 2010 begins the “Week of Witness” across The Wesleyan Church.” As part of the SpringLife emphasis focusing on evangelism and discipleship – the “Week of Witness” has two specific goals:
- To share your personal faith in Jesus Christ with at least one person verbally/intentionally; and
- To invite as many people as you can to join you for Easter Sunday services/activities at your church.
This is our opportunity to help everyone around us to realize that Jesus lives! This is our time to share the hope of Christ with our family, friends and co-workers. This is the week for the world to understand what Easter is all about.
We have prayed for many to accept Christ as their personal Savior during the Week of Witness. We are expecting Easter Weekend to be a special celebration of the transformation of eternal life that only Jesus can make happen. Listen for the opportunities to share your faith. Engage in purposeful conversations about what Jesus means to you personally. Invite everyone you interact with to Easter in anticipation that the Good News of Jesus will be the focus of the entire weekend. Expect that many new believers will be intentionally discipled to and baptized throughout April and May through the ministry of the local church.
Visit the prayer wall and share your stories of Christ’s work!

Prayer Room
We had a 24/7 prayer room in the church building during Holy Week (the week of witness) so that people could pray for the names on post it notes or invite their unbelieving loved ones to come pray with them. Two people who had spent significant time in the prayer room gave their lives to Jesus on Easter. Praise God for changed lives!
