Lexington Presbyterian Church will be holding its biennial Festival of Faith on Saturday and Sunday, March 11 and 12, with guest speaker the Rev. Aisha Brooks-Johnson, Executive Presbyter of Greater Atlanta. The theme of the festival is “Faith Now: 21st Century Discipleship” and features a series of events “exploring the nature of faith in the current moment – in our context of social, economic and racial injustice, when the world and many Christian churches are polarized, and as the post-COVID landscape places new challenges before communities of faith.”

St. John’s Episcopal Church in Glasgow observed Shrove Tuesday on Feb. 21 with a chili dinner. The church had observed the day with a pancake dinner, but it was decided a few years back that chili was better. Congregants gathered around the communal table to share four different kinds of chili. The church’s last Shrove Tuesday dinner was pre-pandemic in 2020 when it was joined with a “thank you” dinner for the spring break mission group of students from the College of the Holy Cross.
