Coventry/Warwick Ministerium to host community Lenten services

Area churches unite in song, prayer and reflection this Lent

The Coventry/Warwick Ministerium has planned Wednesday evening Lenten services for the surrounding community.

Six area churches will take turns hosting worship with a different preacher every week. A Good Friday service completes the schedule. There will be scripture readings, seasonal hymns, responsive prayers, and time for reflection.

All are welcome to experience one, a few, or all the evenings to make Lent more meaningful. The Wednesday services begin at 7:00 PM and conclude with light refreshments. Good Friday’s service begins at 2:00 PM.

Attend in person or view online on the Ministerium’s YouTube Channel — https://www. youtube.com/channel/UCzsuK1IJmSH2aQT8GB70BqQ. Note: live stream services will be dependent upon the technical capabilities that are available at the time of worship.
