SRCA NEWS AND NOTES

Dear Friends in Christ,

This coming Sunday we celebrate Palm Sunday, or the Sunday of the Passion of Our Lord. We will begin our worship with the Liturgy of the Palms, during which we bless the palm branches and hear about Jesus' triumphal entry in Jerusalem. Our shouts of, "HOsanna!" quickly become cries of, "crucify him" as we participate in the reading of the Passion Narrative from Mark's gospel.

Our Lenten Study, It Starts With One, will conclude Wednesday evening 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.

SRCA NEWS AND NOTES

Dear Friends in Christ,

On Sunday we celebrate the fifth Sunday of Lent. Our readings include Jeremiah 31:31-34 and John 12:20-33. Jeremiah articulates the New Covenant, the vision of a people held together not by law but by knowing the Lord, and by having his laws written on their hearts rather than on tablets of stone.  Our inclusion in the People of God is contingent upon our internal "knowing" of him, rather than on some external set of rules. We will explore  what this means in relation to discipleship and SRCA.

SRCA NEWS AND NOTES

Dear Friends,

This coming Sunday we celebrate the fourth Sunday of Lent. Our readings include Ephesians 2:1-10 and John 3:14-21. In the reading from Paul's letter to the Ephesians we hear the core message of the Christian faith. The message will tie this core truth to one of our core values, and to the life of St. Patrick. Our children will have the opportunity to worship with us this Sunday, so the message will include them as well as the adults in the congregation.

Dear Parish Family,

This coming Sunday we celebrate the second Sunday of Lent. Our readings include Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16 and Mark 8:31-38. We will have a member of the Gideons  with us to share about their ministry. (You have seen one piece of their ministry in the drawers in hotel rooms, but they do much more than this, including praying for pastors.) God's word written is central to our life and growth as Christians.
