week of March 1
Fairlawn West United Church of Christ in Akron, Ohio is inviting people to enter the season of Lent to strengthen their living through deeper spiritual practice. On Wednesdays until Holy Week (April 1), you are invited to gather in the Vista Room in our building at 7:00 pm for time of meditative prayer and reading of scripture about the practice of Christian spiritual disciplines.
This past Sunday on March 1 we started a new worship service at 11:15 using the ancient/historical liturgy of the church.
David Loar, our pastor, will be at the Angel Falls coffee shop in Highland Sqaure on West Market Street on Tuesday evening 5:30-7:00 pm for conversation. Also, on Friday afternoon at the Nervous Dog coffee bar 1:30-4:00 pm.
The Mall Bible Reading & Reflection is on Thursday. This gathering has gone on for 8 years in the food court at Summit Mall at 9:00 am. We read through the Bible not so much studying it, but attempting to read it as it was originally intended for a gathered group of believers. We are now reading through the book of Psalms.
The Friday Taize worship service is now at 6:00 pm in the parlor. It is worshiping God in song, prayer, meditation, and silence.
Don't forget to move your clocks forward 1 hour on Saturday night for Daylight Savings Time.
