ANNOUNCEMENTS

Opportunities for Spiritual Growth During Lent:

  • There will be an Ash Wednesday Service at 4:00 p.m. on February 22nd.

          Host church will be Prescott Valley United Methodist, 8944 E. Sommer           Drive (south of Lakeshore, East of Navajo).  All are invited.

  • Lenten Bible Study – “Jesus Revealed:  The I Am Statements in the Gospel of John.  Written by popular Bible study author Matt Rawle, we will explore the I Am statements in John as works of art that resonate throughout the Gospel and all of Scripture.  “Jesus Revealed” will begin on Tuesday, February 28th, at 10:30 a.m. and continue for the six weeks of Lent.  Study books are available on the round table at the side of the sanctuary.
  • Because the road were icy and we couldn’t have circle last week, the Hope Circle will meet this Wednesday, February 22nd, at 10:00 a.m.
  • If you didn’t receive one last week, there are copies of the 2023 Mingus View phone directory on the round table at the back for you to take home.
  • Greeters and hosts for Fellowship Hour are needed!  Sign up sheets are posted on the back bulletin board.
  • Who are . . . the Prayer Families?  Each week, two individuals and/or families are singled out for special “prayer attention.”  It is hoped that each person prays for members of the Mingus View family always, but the Prayer Families are a way to focus prayers on individuals.  A schedule for the year is put together, and based on the current number of family and friends, each individual family is on the prayer list approximately every 6 months.
