WEDNESDAY LENTEN SERVICES are at 4 pm. Join us as we are Guided to the Cross. A meal is served after the service. Desserts and help are needed. Sign up sheets are posted.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR ONE MORE READER
FOR THE LENT SERVICES! Would you like to help with our Lent Services this spring? Each Wednesday Lenten service will be a time to guide us to the Cross of Jesus. Each week, the service will guide us to a different aspect of Jesus' attitude when he made his way to the cross. And we are looking for one more person to help by reading the sermon for March 18th. All the sermons have been written and prepared; you just need to read them during the service. Pastor Phil is asking each reader to write a short reflection on the week's topic from their own life: 1-2 minutes. If you would like to be a part of the preaching team for Lent Services, talk to Pastor Phil.

7 - 8 pm as we continue our study, “God's Reluctant Leaders - The Biblical Stories of Jonah, Gideon, and Moses”.
Session 6 - Idols Among Us - Gideon
God’s first directive was for Gideon to take down the altar to Baal who was the pagan fertility god of the Canaanites, which he did and then took stones from it and made a new altar to the Lord. God had arranged for Gideon to stand forth as a leader in a small way before he sent him on to his greater mission. Perhaps for us as well, the small opportunities we have to be faithful are the ways that God trains us to be leaders in faith.
EUCHRE FUN GAMES are March 14th and 28th at 3 pm. Mark your calendar and bring your family and friends for fellowship and fun. Save the following dates: April 11th & 25th, and May 9th & 30th.
