Area Churches Host Community Lenten Worship Services

The Phoenixville Area Clergy Association (PACA) has planned Wednesday evening Lenten services. The overall theme is "God's Holy People". Starting on March 13th, five area churches will take turns hosting worship with a different preacher and topic every week. Attendees can participate in song, prayer and reflection.
