Experience something special this Lent. (Coventry Warwick Ministerium)

The Coventry/Warwick Ministerium has planned Wednesday evening Lenten services for the surrounding community. Starting on Ash Wednesday, March 2nd, six area churches will take turns hosting worship with a different preacher every week. A Good Friday service completes the schedule. There will be scripture readings, seasonal hymns, responsive prayers, and time for reflection. All are welcome to experience one, a few, or all the evenings to make Lent more meaningful. The Wednesday services begin at 7:00 PM and conclude with light refreshments. All are welcome to attend in person. If not in person, then please take advantage of watching the services on the Ministerium's YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzsuK1IJmSH2aQT8GB70BqQ. Note: live stream services will be dependent upon the technical capabilities that are available at the time of worship.
