Holy BibleEven if you haven’t taken part in the evening Bible studies so far, you’re invited to try them out just during Lent!

The Wednesday evening study will be taking a look at Jesus’ life, teachings, miracles, death and resurrection, and what it means to follow him today. The Lenten focus will begin March 16, and continue on March 23, 30, April 6 and 13, from 6:30-7:30 each evening.

The Thursday evening study will share the Lenten Study, “The Jesus I Never Knew” by Phillip Yancey, beginning March 10 from 6:30-7:30, and continuing each Thursday night through April 14. Pastor Greta will be guiding both of the studies.

Thank you for making the effort to bring your stickers to the church office so that UMW/Sarah circle could buy pots and pans. You may have only had a few to share, but all of them combined, a little over 920, bought a lot of pots and pans. We were able to buy for eleven cents- 5 stock pots and 6 frying pans. The Peoples Resource Center will be delighted to receive our donation.

Thanks again, on behalf of UMW/Sarah circle.
