The Last Alleluia - Sunday, February 19th

Holzhalb Hall 10:15am -11:10am

This is the last Sunday for sharing our Alleluias, our chief word of praise and thanksgiving, as we prepare to take on a more somber tone for Lent.  This will be a time of glitter and laughter, praise and paint, as we make Alleluias to take up and bury on Ash Wednesday as part of our children’s liturgy.
