Greetings family in Christ!
As we have been announcing 2 consecutive Sundays and at our last Session Meeting on February 10th, this Sunday, February 22nd, we will have our Annual Meeting of the Congregation. This meeting will be held in person immediately following the service. There will be a light snack. In the event of inclement weather or snow, the meeting will be rescheduled for the following Sunday, March 1 or March 8. I warmly encourage you to set aside time to come to the worship service and to the meeting. This is a small congregation. Your voice, attendance and participation of each one of you is very important. A zoom link will be send to those out of state and homebound. Thank you for your support. God bless you all.
The Season of Lent began on Ash Wednesday last February 18, and it lasts until Sunday April 5, 2026. It is a season of quiet reflection when we bring our deep thoughts and feelings to God. Often people will observe Lent with something the church calls spiritual disciplines, such as prayer, meditation, fasting, and service to others. What would help deepen your relationship with God and one another this season?
The temptations facing Jesus in the wilderness are the same temptations facing many of us today: greedy, jealousy, arrogance, power. Rulers get lots of attention, make all the decisions, and get whatever they want. Jesus refused to take such power, choosing instead to obey God. Jesus insisted that there are better things in the world than worrying about how much we have. And Jesus always refused to be a show-off. Jesus chooses to serve God and God alone, and the tempter left.
We will be praying for you and your family. Please also include us in your prayers as well. See you at worship!
Dear God, thank you for Jesus who shows us the way to follow you. Be with us as we walk with Jesus, our Good Shepherd who gives us abundant life if we open our hearts to him. Amen
