3rd Sunday in Lent

Mr. Rogers Day

“There are three ways to ultimate success:  the first way is to be kind.  The second way is to be kind.  The third way is to be kind.”  Mr. Rogers

You are invited to join us on Sunday for our 10:00 a.m. Worship Service in our sanctuary or with the broadcast on our Facebook page.  We will be exploring what the Bible has to say about being neighborly, as we celebrate the birthday of Fred Rogers, better known as “Mr. Rogers.”  The title of  Susan Goe’s message is “Serving Our Neighbors” as we look at several Bible passages. The Celebration Bell Choir will play “Holy God, We Praise Your Name” & “Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee.”     The Choir will sing “Blest Be the Tie That Binds.” Hymns will include “There’s a Sweet, Sweet Spirit,” “Jesu, Jesu, Fill Us With Your Love” and “O for a World.”

ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • Greeters and hosts for Fellowship Hour are needed!  Sign up sheets are posted on the back bulletin board. 
  • One Great Hour of Sharing is the Presbyterian Church (USA)’s special offering for the Easter season and is the largest way that Presbyterians come together to work for a better world.  Through OGHS, we help to stabilize and strengthen those who are weak.  Gifts to OGHS support Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, the Presbyterian Hunger Program, and Self-Development of People.  Envelopes may be found in the pockets on the back of the chairs.  Your gifts are most appreciated and may be received anytime before Easter.
  • “The Grace of Les Miserables” is our Bible study during Lent.  Written by Matt Rawle, this study focuses on six themes found in the story – grace, justice, poverty, revolution, love, and hope – each represented by a character in Victor Hugo’s story.  Join us on Tuesday afternoons at 1:00 p.m.
  • RW has invited the Session to meet at his home for the March Session meeting on Tuesday, March 29th, at 3:00 p.m.  Please make special note of the start time.  Materials will be available next week.
