Piecemakers Quilt Silent Auction & Raffle Piecemakers’ work over the past year is displayed today in the sanctuary. These quilts, school kits and baby care kits will be shipped to the Baltimore warehouse for distribution over seas. To defray some of the shipping costs, we are holding a silent auction for two quilts, and a raffle for two quilts. Raffle tickets are $2.00 or 3 for $5.00. The quilts are on display in the lobby and TODAY is your last chance to bid or buy raffle tickets. The Piecemakers would like to thank Stacey Tamulinas for the beautiful fabric donations, Elsa Berrio for all the work she does at home keeping us supplied with quilt tops, and the Living Word congregation and staff for their support!

CHILDREN But by this covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God and they shall be my people. No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, “Know the Lord”, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more. Jeremiah 31:31-34
Journey to the Cross registration is open! JTTC is an age-appropriate, interactive walk through Jesus' last week on Earth. Together we become a part of the story when we wave palms as Jesus enters Jerusalem, eat the Last Supper with Jesus and His disciples, and roll the stone in front of the tomb. Register on the Events page of www.livingwordkaty.org. __________________________________________________

Adult Faith Formation Bible Study:
HIGH SCHOOL
360, Reading the Bible Anew
Small Groups are off tonight due to Spring Break. Enjoy time with your family!
360 is a journey from Genesis to Revelation that allows us to experience scripture in new and dynamic ways. As Christians, we simply do not learn or just study the scripture for knowledge. We assimilate it, and take it into our lives in such a way that it mobilizes us to acts of love, compassion and justice. This Bible study meets on Wednesdays at 9:30am and 7:00pm in the Life Center. You do not want to miss 360; a chance to read the Bible again for the first time. __________________________________________________
