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.
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 5. 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
