Lenten Season
Ash Wednesday is on February 22. Once again we will have a simple dinner that will include communion and the singing of Taizé songs. This year the rest of our Lenten Academy every Wednesday evening during Lent at 7:00 p.m. will be a book discussion. The only exception will be the last Wednesday before Holy Week (March 28) where we will have a full Taizé service and communion. The book we will discuss this year is called “Saving Jesus From the Church: How to Stop Worshiping Christ and Start Following Jesus.” It is by Robin R. Meyers, a Congregational pastor in Oklahoma City.

Hard Questions with Thoughtful Responses:
Many people, both members of Newport and visitors to our website, have questions they would like a pastor to address.  Jim enjoys that that kind of dialogue.  So, he will attempt to make a thoughtful response to one or two questions a month and post them on this new link.  If you would like to ask a question, please email him at jimpatten@newportpres.org  He will choose from the questions he receives.  A link is under the Worship menu, or click here.
