Readings
for this Sunday: Genesis
15:1-12, 17-18, Psalm 27, Philippians 3:17-4:1, Luke 13:31-35.
Lent is traditionally a
season (40 days) in which Christians are urged to set some time
aside to go deeper in our relationship with God and we as the church are here
to support you in that.
2016 Lenten Meditations booklets, courtesy of Episcopal Relief & Development are available on the table in the Parish Hall.
Our Wednesday evening Simple Soup & Salad
Supper Series
topic this year will be Growing
a Rule of Life. Please don’t be intimidated by the title! Think of is as a
time-honored approach to developing tools for leading a balanced life –
customized to your realities. The materials for this series come to us
from the Society of St. John the Evangelist, teaming up with the Center for the
Ministry of Teaching at Virginia Theological Seminary and include both brief
daily on-line videos and a workbook. It can be done as an individual exercise,
but there is wonderful additional benefit in the group support! PLEASE sign up
on the easel board in the Parish Hall, where you can also take a look at the
workbook. The meetings will take place on February 24 and March 2, 9, and 16.
We will gather at 5:30 and be out at 7.

And as food for thought on Giving up
Indifference for Lent...
Here is what Pope Francis said to the world in his Lenten message:
Here is what Pope Francis said to the world in his Lenten message:
"Indifference to our neighbor and to God also
represents a real temptation for us Christians. Each year during Lent we need
to hear once more the voice of the prophets who cry our and trouble our
conscience."
Where do you sense the prophets' call?
Where do you notice your own indifference?
What does noticing that indifference call you to do
differently?
Blessings.
See you in church!
