Several White Lake area churches will again host their traditional Lenten Luncheons this year, commemorating the holy Christian season of Lent with Wednesday gatherings that will include local pastors giving their thoughts on the annual 40-day observance. All are invited to attend.
The series of five luncheons will begin Wednesday, March 12 at St. Peter's Episcopal Church on Old Channel Trail in Montague, with guest speaker Doug Ogden, pastor of Lebanon Lutheran Church. Each luncheon will go from 12-1 p.m., with each church serving a simple menu of options, often including hearty soups. Free will offerings will be taken at each luncheon with donations shared by Lebanon Lutheran's White Lake Food Pantry and the White Lake United Methodist Church's Free Store.
The luncheons will continue as follows: March 19 at White Lake Congregational United Church of Christ in Whitehall, with guest speaker Beth Wohlford, pastor of spirtual formation at Ferry Church; March 26 at St. James Catholic Church, with guest speaker Bill Crawford, pastor of Ferry Church; April 2 at White Lake United Methodist Church in Montague with White Lake UCC pastor Donna Morton as guest speaker; and April 9 at Ferry Church on Old Channel Trail, with White Lake UMC pastor Tim Dibble as guest speaker.
