Greetings From Our New Minister
It is now official. My name plate is on
the door and Connie has given me a set of keys. Yet, I am aware that I
have a whole lot of settling in to do. As I sit in the church office,
boxes of books are partially unpacked and some of the desk drawers are
yet to be opened. Your minister’s office may look like it is completely
disorganized, but I assure you that it will soon look like an office
again.
The calendar on the bulletin board above
the desk tells me that Lent and Easter are quickly on the way. As a
time of personal reflection about our relationship with God, Lent is a
traditional time to learn more about living out our faith as
Christians. The Elders will soon be choosing a topic for this year’s
Lenten study so watch for more information in the bulletin and in the
next newsletter. Also, I’d like to invite youth and adults who are
interested in being baptized to join me for a church membership
class. The class will meet every week during Lent. At the end of that
time, those who desire to join the church will make their confession of
faith on Palm Sunday and be baptized on Easter. If you are interested,
please call the church office.
I am very excited about sharing ministry
with you. I plan to be in the office Monday through Thursday, with
Friday as my day off. Please feel free to drop in and say hello. I’ll
see you Sunday!
Glad to be your minister,
Amanda |

WEEK OF COMPASSION OFFERING
Since 1946, the Week of Compassion
offering has given North American Christians the opportunity to become
participants in humanitarian work that expresses God’s love to neighbors
far and wide— not just to victims of the major disasters that saturate
the media, but to victims of “disasters” that repeat themselves each and
every day: disasters of extreme poverty and chronic hunger, of
terminally unclean water and nonexistent sanitation, of terrorizing war
and devastating loss.
Gifts to Week of Compassion support
programs that help our neighbors around the world build lives and
communities that are healthy, safe and sustainable, making a huge
difference in the lives of millions of families.
Special envelopes for the Week of
Compassion offering will be provided in the bulletin February 18th.
Please give generously! |
