| Whittier Road on Thursday: Mid-winter thaw? Or early spring? |
Services for this coming Sunday, February 28th
and the Second Sunday in Lent, will be at 8 and 10 am followed by coffee hour.
Readings for this Sunday: Exodus 3:1-15, Psalm 63, 1 Corinthians 10:1-13, Luke 13:1-9.
If you haven’t yet done
so, please take time during coffee hour to familiarize yourself
with the Master Plan posters in the Prince Room. The committee really wants
your comments, comments, suggestions, and questions as they strategize priorities and improvements to our physical plant. Duane, Lisa, Sally, or Heidi
would be happy to talk you through the plans. Thanks to those of you who have
already made suggestions and comments.
It’s not too late to start! Our Wednesday
evening Simple Soup & Salad Supper Series topic this year will be Growing
a Rule of Life. Our first meeting was “iced out”, so you’ll
still be in on the ground floor. 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. 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 March 2, 9, and 16. We will
gather at 5:30 and be out at 7.

If you’d like to be part of the team (cast or kitchen) talk to Chris Mills or Carol
Tubman. Rehearsals will start up soon, take a break for Holy Week and Easter,
then pick up in April for the final preparations!

Thought you should know, I received an email
from Jane Van Zandt, the priest who took the services last Sunday when Duane
and I were on vacation. She “thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it” – the
knowledgeable servers at the altar, the music, the opportunity to reconnect
with some old friends and meet some new people. The open hospitality of this
place was appreciated once again! And Duane and I had a relaxing and refreshing
time with family and friends in Massachusetts.
And as food for thought …
God said: "If I
create the world with only the attribute of mercy, people will feel free to sin
as much as they want. But if I create it with only the attribute of strict
justice, how could the world survive? Behold, I will create it with both
attributes. Would that it might endure!" —Rabbinic saying.
Blessings.
See you in church!
