Pictorial Directory: It was decided and voted on last Sunday to go ahead with the Picture Directory. Our dates are set now for June 17-18 from 2-8:30 p.m. both dates. If you cannot make this you are welcome to set appointments at Trinity June 11-14, 2025 and have them taken there. A committee will be appointed to help with this process here at Burt.
THE HAND OF THE LORD is our theme for Lent this year. Hands are used to heal, mend, build, teach, comfort, and so much more. Yet, as humans, our hands are sinful and unclean. Christ’s hands are the ones that can transform our sinful and dirtied hands into beautiful, clean ones to carry out His plans. Spend this Lent exploring God’s Word to see how His hands are used in both the New and Old Testaments, from creation to crucifixion and eternal life. Watch for our Lenten Schedule and Devotion books coming soon!
Daily “The Hand of the Lord” Devotions for Lent and Easter are now available on the back table.
2024 Annual Report is now available along the east wall. Please, take one copy per family!!
Adult Bible Class will begin a Lenten study “The Hand of the Lord” to go along with our Lenten Series on Sunday March 9, 2025. Now would be a good time to join us at 8:15 a.m.
The Lenten Schedule is now on the table in the back.
