Easter Lily orders form

/in , /by

We would like to place Easter Lilies in our windows and on the Chancel steps for the services on Easter Sunday. The cost is $14.00. If you desire to place an order for one or more lilies, please click on the link below to download the form. Fill in the information and place it in the offering plate or mail it to the church office as soon as possible. The deadline is Sunday, March 25th
Because 35 lilies must be special ordered from Whitten’s to have them arrive at their peak for Easter, they will be assigned on a first-ordered, first-served basis. When 35 have been assigned, no more can be purchased. Thanks for your understanding. The Worship and Music Committee

General Lent reminders

/in , /by

LENT
Just a reminder
The Forty Days before Easter are the Lenten season. During this time we omit the refrains that are
connected to celebrating Christ’s resurrection and we use the verses appropriate for Lent. They are:
• We refrain from singing Allelulia’s because of its connection to Easter.
• There is no Absolution (minister declaring our forgiveness, page 118) for all of Lent is a time of self-examination.
• Omit the Hymn of Praise: “Glory to God in the highest” and we instead lead straight into The Prayer of the Day.
• We sing the Lenten verse: “Let your steadfast Love” page 125.
• We use the Apostles’ Creed.
On Easter Sunday, April 1, we will return to the verses praising our Lord and His resurrection.

WALKING FOR LENT

/in , , /by

WALKING FOR LENT
During Lent many use this time to practice “giving up” something while others may practice “taking up” something. What if you could do both? This Lenten season, the Health Ministry Committee invites you to “take up” healthy eating while “giving up some” of the ingredients and cooking practices that make our food less healthy. Starting Sunday, February 11th, every week, there will be a week’s worth of recipes available from the “Seasoning Lent” cookbook from Church Health. This cookbook includes healthy recipes, reflections, and prayer. The recipes are not only healthy but also easy and family friendly. These weekly packets of recipes will be in the Narthex each Sunday. Please take one per family. Please let Amy Goodson know if more copies are needed. Also, we will be starting a Lenten walking devotional starting Saturday, February 17th at 10:00 a.m. in Fellowship Hall. Please contact Amy Goodson if you are interested in participating and if you need a devotional.

This will be a simpler type service with no music for those that do not wish to drive in the evening or maybe due to a work schedule. In the evening will be a full liturgical service at 7:00 p.m. Both services will have the Imposition of Ashes and Holy Communion.

THE BODY OF CHRIST
A SERIES OF SPECIAL SERVICES FOR LENT
“And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
We say it so often but how often do we actually think about the words, “God has become one of us — human”? This is a radical statement and yet because God has walked this earth through Jesus, God knows our hurts and needs. Jesus knew joy, friendship, anger, hunger, thirst, betrayal, pain and suffering, and death.
During our mid-week Lenten services, we who are the Body of Christ in God’s world today, will meditate thoughtfully on the human body with which our Lord first brought God’s saving love to the world:
+ THE FEET OF CHRIST to lead the way. +
+ THE HANDS OF CHRIST to help and heal. +
+ THE MOUTH OF CHRIST to speak God’s Word. +
+ THE EARS OF CHRIST to hear our prayers. + “,…..__./
+ THE EYES OF CHRIST to see our needs. +
+ THE HEART OF CHRIST beating with love. +
Join us for the Lenten journey,
