Lent at Church Street
View the 2023 Lenten Devotional booklet below. These devotions are written each year by Church Street members and clergy, and prepared by the Congregational Care committee of the church, to be a spiritual guide for our community to use throughout the season. Please enjoy!

A very limited number of print copies are available by calling the church office at 865-524-3048. If you are signed up to receive email communications from the church, you will also receive these Lenten devotions by email.
