40 CANS FOR 40 DAYS FOOD DRIVE

March 5—April 18

 

During the season of Lent, we commemorate both the Israelite's 40 years and Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness as we prepare for the coming of Resurrection Sunday. Traditionally, people observe this time of preparation by fasting or abstaining from certain activities, foods, or habits.  

 

We would like to invite you to partner with us in one of AHUMC's Lenten practices. As you go through 40 days of preparation, we’d hope you will join us in prayer for the Hope Center. We also ask that you will consider donating a can of food for each of the 40 days of Lent.


MAUNDY THURSDAY

Modern Service | 7 p.m.

 

Maundy Thursday gets its name from the Latin word "mandatum," meaning "commandment."

Worship will be in the CLC and includes Holy Communion.

 

Childcare is available for children under age 10.
