The Coventry/Warwick Ministerium has planned Wednesday evening Lenten services for the surrounding community.

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. Good Friday's service begins at 2:00 PM.
