Community Lenten Worship
Services and Luncheons
The Orion Area Ministerial Association is once again sponsoring Friday noontime worship services and soup/sandwich luncheons during Lent. Different area churches will host each of the gatherings. All are invited to join their sisters and brothers in Christ for worship, good food and fellowship.
