Two series

of Lenten services will take place this year at Christ Our Shepherd Lutheran

Church in Peachtree City, said the Rev. John Weber, senior pastor.

Beginning March

7, Derek Olsen, the congregation's pastoral intern, will offer a brief

time each Wednesday at 12:10 p.m. "to give congregants and members

of the community a time to pause in the midst of their day and to reflect

on their Lenten promises," he said. Responsive prayers will form

the basis of the service, interspersed with quiet music and periods of

silence.

Lenten services

will also be held Thursday evenings on the theme, "Encounters with

Christ." The first, March 8, will include a monologue on Jesus meeting

the blind man. The remaining four, March 15 through April 5, will feature

brief contemporary dramas portraying Jesus meeting Mary and Martha, Nicodemus,

James and John, and Peter.

The 7 p.m.

liturgy will be Holden Evening Prayer, a contemplative setting that sets

the tone for Lent.

The community

is welcome to these services, Weber said. The church is located at Peachtree

Parkway and Ga. Highway 54. For further information, call 770-487-8717.
