Weekly Email, Feb. 1
February 1, 2021
Yes, February is here and that means it's time for Lent. We are excited to be meeting in person again starting this week (we'll still be online, too, if you don't want to come to the building) just in time for the Lenten season. We look forward to the important sermon series our pastors have planned for us.
Lenten Worship will be Wednesday nights at 6pm ONLY. No noon worship this year.
Looking ahead to EASTER worship, we ask for your help in planning. Please fill out this poll to give us an idea of how many people plan to attend Easter church in person, should that be an option. https://blcmankato.breezechms.com/form/EasterInterestSurvey

Our new website and church management system, Breeze, offers so many exciting ways we can streamline our communication with you. Using Breeze to send you weekly updates is one of the ways we can keep our email list consistent and accurate (it also saves time and money!).
Additionally, our new website features a "News & Updates" blog, which you can follow right from the home page (blcmankato.org). By including all the details there, you can easily reference it at any time.

The website also integrates the Events Calendar from Breeze. You can view the calendar and event descriptions on the website, but you can also check into worship and register for events by using your own Breeze account (don't have one yet? Contact Emily in the office).
