Faith News Update for March 16, 2017

March 19th, 2017
9:30am Sunday Worship with

Holy Communion

...this brother of yours...

Gospel Reading for this Sunday:
Luke 15:1-32

This Sunday we continue, Loving All Our Neighbors Without Limits. During the 6 weeks of the Lenten season, we will be using a curriculum, provided by Family Promise, called Just Neighbors.

This Sunday:

Session 3) Does Working Work?

We’ll look at the changing trends in employment and wages that have led to an increased number of ‘working poor.’

Next Sunday: Session 4) Housing Matters

We’ll examine the nation’s housing crisis and commonly held myths about housing.

Interactive Prayer Cross - Prayers for the Journey

At our Ash Wednesday Worship Service we introduced a visual element into our communal worship and prayer life.

Throughout the season of Lent it will serve as a living, growing work of art, composed of the hopes, fears, thanksgivings and dreams of our people.

We are calling it an Interactive Prayer Cross.

Each week worship attendees will be invited to add their prayers to the cross. As it grows in color and design it will serve as a symbol for our ongoing conversations with God as individuals, families and as a community of faith. Join us on Sunday mornings or stop by the church during office hours and add your prayers to those of the congregation.
