Ash Wednesday 2012 - A Celebration?

Living Faith Parish - Giard Center
Area Ecumenical Ash Wednesday Service

Ash Wednesday Service, usually a somber occasion, was almost as much of a celebration in as much as this small church was nearly full this year, compared to recent years.  With so many people joining in the service it seemed to add something special to the service.  
There were people at the service from approximately 6 to 8 area towns and the surrounding area including Prairie du Chien.  Also, there were were approximately six area churches participating. 
Remember, the next five Wednesdays the Lenten programs will be held at First Congregational UCC in McGregor.  A meal will be served at 5:00 with a program following.  The local churches will take turns providing the meals and the programs.  Be sure to join us.
God bless.

ANNA NARROWS GENERATION GAP

Anna, daughter of Chad Hauschild, reached out to Lillian Fritz of McGregor this Sunday afternoon. Anna's desire to embrace Lillian, and other care facility residents, stems from a deep passion to cross the generation gap and build fellowship across age lines. Following her visit, Anna remarked, "it makes me feel good inside." 


Anna's example of unconditional love is a profound message of hope. Thank you Anna and Lillian for teaching us that the love of God knows no bounds.
