Come find out on Tuesday, February 28, at Christ Lutheran. A supper will begin at 6 pm, followed by a Lenten activity at around 6:30. All are welcome This spring, CLC is taking part in Lutheran World Relief s Baskets of Promise appeal. LWR Personal Care Kits provide items to those in need to help them stay healthy in life s most challenging situations. Wellness during Lent Christ Lutheran will participate in a wellness activity called Here We Walk during the six weeks of Lent. Instead of giving up something for Lent, participants will agree to get some extra movement while tracking their exercise on a map of Martin Luther s travels. As each destination is reached, we will learn something about the sites where the Reformation happened 500 years ago. If you aren t able to get your materials at the Mardi Gras supper, extras are available at church. Participants will be treated to a special meal and may win a prize. Join in the fun!
