SRCA NEWS AND NOTES

Dear Parish Family,

This week we celebrate the first Sunday in Lent. Our liturgy will take on a more somber tone as we enter a time of preparation marked by fasting and a call to repentance.  Our readings will include Genesis 9:8-17,  Psalm 25:1-9 ,  1 Peter 3:18-22, and Mark 1:9-15.

LENTEN STUDY

Our Lenten Study, It Starts With One, will be held Wednesday evenings at the 304. Soup, salad and bread are served at 6:15, with the study beginning at 7:00. At 8:00 (except for the first week) we will share Holy Communion together. The evening will conclude by 8:30. I am encouraging you to make this a part of your Lenten discipline. The study will engage us with the first 6 chapters in Acts. Booklets will be available on Sunday for those planning to attend. 

SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE SUPPER THANK YOU

Our pancake supper was a tremendous success, with 50 people being served. Many thanks to Cris Campbell and Bruce Neumann who manned the griddle. Sausages consumed: 130 links. Pancakes consumed: Countless. Fellowship and conversation sahred: PRICELESS!

FAMILY CAMP

The date is set for our best family camp yet. On June 22-24 I am praying many of you will join the fun at the Bishop Claggett Center, located about an hour from South Riding. Our Theme this year is 

"Trials, Temptations, and Triumphs: 

Warrior. Liar. Hero. Murderer. King." New adult small groups and activities for youth and children will be ready fro participants to enjoy! The "I'm interested" sign up sheet will be on the hospitality table.

SAVE THE DATE: Good Friday: April 6th. Simple Supper to fund Ghana missions at 5:30, Service of Tenebrae at 7:00

Dear Parish Family,

Thank you all so very much for praying for Bruce and I during our time in Alaska. We had 4 smooth flights, made our connections (barely, but we made them), and were blessed by the community of folks I was in ministry with and to. The teaching went very well, and the weather cooperated. My two "worldly wishes" were granted - we saw the aurora borealis (dimly and low on the horizon - but we saw it) and we saw moose in the wild! I am looking forward to seeing you all on Sunday! Our readings will include: 2 Kings 5:1-14 , Psalm 30, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 , and  Mark 1:40-45 .

WE WILL BE CELEBRATING SCOUT SUNDAY THIS WEEK. ALL SCOUTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO WEAR THEIR SCOUT UNIFORMS TO CHURCH. 

PRAYER REQUEST:

Gail's daughter R. is expecting. She has developed complications, and consequently there is the likelihood of induction and delivery. The baby is still quite small as this is very early. Please pray for wisdom for the medical staff, for healing for R., and for the baby's life and protection (especially during delivery). Please keep R.'s mom and dad in your prayers as they minister to her and her husband.
