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.
