Lent at McFarlin
Below you’ll find details about all of our Lent opportunities and events!
Giving Opportunities
Easter Offering
McFarlin’s Easter Offering goes to support our Utilities Assistance ministry, which has grown to be the largest of its kind in Cleveland County. This ministry serves those in our community who need help with electric, water, or natural gas bills. We have been able to help families who need an extra boost to get through the month, as well as families on the brink of having services turned off.
