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. 


LENTEN STUDY
Our Lenten Study, It Starts With One, is held on 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. This coming Wednesday we will be discussing Chapter 4.  Everyone is welcome to come join the fellowship and the discussion!.


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.

GOOD FRIDAY: April 6th. Simple Supper to fund Ghana missions at 5:30, Service of Tenebrae at 7:00. This service of Tenebrae is especially moving and helpful in our understanding of just what Jesus did for us. Plan now to make this a part of your Holy week preparation for Easter.

YARD SALE
The South Riding Yard Sale date is May 5th. SRCA will have a table for the sale of books, DVD's, CD's, and games. Please begin now to collect your things. A drop off point will be announced shortly. We will need help that day. Please talk to Mike Stombock to volunteer. 

WOMEN'S RETREAT
Our spring Women's retreat at eh Crab Shack is scheduled for May 18-20. We are praying for many of our women to be able to join us for this time apart. Theme and signup will be announced shortly.

All blessings in Christ Jesus,

Becki+
