Contemplative Experiences Every Wednesday
Along with some hearty soup!

Each Wednesday evening during Lent we invite you to share a soup supper with your church family in the Wesley Room at 6:30 PM. The meal will be simple but hearty and delicious, consisting of homemade soup and bread.

After supper, Pastor Wayne will celebrate a brief communion service and then you are invited downstairs to fellowship hall for a different contemplative experience each week.

Each week's experience will center on the topic of "Living Simply" and allow you to walk through individually at your own pace, providing time for personal meditation. We hope that these experiences will help you to focus on things of the Spirit and draw you closer to God.

One Great Hour of Sharing Rally March 14

Please come and join us at San Pablo-Centenario United Methodist Church (739 Mt. Prospect Avenue, Newark) next Sunday from 4-6 PM for our Gateway North One Great Hour of Sharing Rally.

Bishop Devadhar will be on hand to participate in the celebration and Bishop Felton May will be the guest preacher. This gathering is part of the initial process of developing a district Urban Ministry Project. The hope is to garner resources from churches across our district to provide meaningful outreach in the places of greatest need in our urban area.
