Greetings from Church of Peace on Ash Wednesday!
Lent begins today. We will begin this six-week journey into
deeper faithfulness with an Ash Wednesday service tonight at 7:00 p.m. Holy
Communion will be served at the altar. Confirmands will light the first of the Lenten
candles. Join us for this holy time of new beginnings.
Are you ever tempted to do something
wrong? We all are. God provides us with the resources to be strong against
temptation’s lure. Temptation will be the focus of this Sunday’s worship.
Worship will begin at 8:45 a.m.
Family Faith Formation is a
time for Christians of all ages to learn, celebrate, worship, and eat
together. Join us at 10:00 this Sunday
for crafts, games, and worship on the theme of “Jesus Loves the Little
Children.” A delicious lunch will follow; we’ll be done about 11:30. This replaces the Sunday School hour. Children
are welcome to come without a parent.
The “Feed My Starving Children”
program has begun gathering funds for this year’s event. You can talk with Starla Rebedew in the
narthex after worship for more information.
A Chili Cook-Off to support
our youth mission trippers will be held on Sunday, February 25th
from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. There’s
still time to sign up to bring a pot of chili.
$5.00 for adults and $2.00 for kids will buy you as much chili as you
can eat. Seroogy’s candy bars will be
for sale for dessert. Please plan to come and enjoy the delicious food and the
fun!
That’s the news from Church of
Peace.
We’ll see you in church! Pastors Jenny and Jim
A prayer for today: O God, as this Lenten season starts, I pray
that you will lead me into deeper faithfulness and obedience to the ways of
Christ. Heal the broken parts of my life
and shine your healing light into my heart so that I will be able to follow
Jesus more wholeheartedly. Amen.
