We’re inviting everyone to be part of our upcoming Church Work Day at Open Arms Community Church on Saturday, February 28, 2026, from 9:00 AM–4:00 PM.
This church-wide day is an opportunity to serve together and care for the space we share as a church family.
What Is Church Work Day?
Church Work Day is a time set aside for practical, hands-on service. From organizing and cleaning to maintenance and small projects, every helping hand makes a difference.
There’s something meaningful about working shoulder to shoulder — building ownership, strengthening community, and stewarding the place where we gather each week.
Event Details
Date: Saturday, February 28, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM–4:00 PM
Location: Open Arms Community Church
You can come for the whole day or just part of it. Every hour matters.
Lent is a sacred season in the life of the Church — a time to slow down, turn our hearts toward God, and allow Him to search, refine, and renew us. It is a season of repentance, prayer, fasting, and deeper dependence on the Lord.
This year, Open Arms Community Church is creating intentional space for our church family and our community to seek God together through two simple but powerful opportunities:
Lenten Prayer Service – A gathered evening of worship and prayer
Word for Lunch – Daily Scripture reading and prayer over the lunch hour
Both are designed to help us “eat His Word” and prepare our hearts as we journey toward Easter.
Lenten Prayer Service – Wednesday Night
Date: Wednesday, February 18, 2026 Time: 7:00 PM Location: Open Arms Community Church Who It’s For: Everyone (church family & community)
The Lenten Prayer Service will be a focused time of seeking God through prayer and worship as we enter the season of Lent. Together, we will quiet our hearts, reflect, and ask the Lord to shape us during this sacred season.
If you are sensing a hunger for God, a desire to start Lent with intention, or simply need a place to come and pray, this night is for you.
No registration required. No childcare provided.
The Word for Lunch – Daily Scripture & Prayer
Starts: Thursday, February 19 Time: 12:15 PM (15 minutes) Location: Open Arms Community Church Schedule: Daily through the season of Lent, leading up to Easter Sunday Who It’s For: Everyone
“The Word for Lunch” is a simple daily gathering for Scripture reading and prayer during the lunch hour. For about 15 minutes each day, we will come together to hear God’s Word and respond in prayer.
Many of us enter Lent with a posture of fasting and repentance. This daily rhythm invites us to replace what we give up with something far better — the Word of God.
We believe that as we “eat His Words” each day, our hearts and minds will be renewed, and we will be strengthened in our commitment to seek the Lord.
Come on your lunch break. Come as you are. Come even if you can only attend some days. There is grace for wherever you’re at.
Sunday Dinner is a Young Adults microchurch of Open Arms Community Church, centered on shared meals, meaningful conversation, and growing together through Scripture. If you’re a young adult looking for community and a place to belong, you’re invited to join us.
