Scripture Lessons: Isaiah 58:1-12 and Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21 Youth Fundraiser You may have noticed the display in the Parish Hall with all of the numbered envelopes. This is our Enveloped in Missions fundraiser. Take an envelope, contribute the dollar amount that matches the number-more if you’d like- and place it in the box. This fundraiser will go through until the end of March. Your prayers and support are greatly appreciated! Sunday Morning Lenten Studies: Open View: Are you looking for a Sunday morning Lenten study? If so, you are cordially invited to attend the Open View class beginning on March 5th. They will be studying The Way by Adam Hamilton. The Open View class meets in the Activities Room (located in the basement of the Education Building) from 9:45-10:45 on Sunday mornings. Travel with Adam Hamilton as he retraces the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Once again, Hamilton approaches his subject matter with thoughtfulness and wisdom, just as he did with Jesus’ crucifixion in 24 Hours That Changed the World and with Jesus’ birth in The Journey. Using historical information, archaeological data, and stories of the faith, Hamilton follows in the footsteps of Jesus from his baptism to the temptations to the heart of his ministry, including the people he loved, the parables he taught, the enemies he made, and the healing he brought. New Beginnings: The New Beginnings class will be starting a Lenten study on Sunday March 5th. We would welcome anyone interested in joining our class for the Lenten Season. The six week study is called: Qualities of Discipleship study materials written by Marianne Blickenstaff. Our first session will be led by Ray Moreland. Handouts will be provided so all you have to do is join us on the 3rd floor of the Education bldg. in the children’s choir room. If you have any questions please contact Bill Waskey at 240-490-1344 or email:
