Dear Members, Visitors, and Friends of the Congregation,

          Next Wednesday, March 2nd, is Ash Wednesday, which marks the beginning of Lent. We will observe the day with a Parking Lot Communion Service with the Imposition of Ashes at noon. This will be our only service that day and I certainly hope you will be able to participate. Also, instead of in-person mid-week Lenten services at church, we will use our Wednesday evening ZOOM worship time to focus on Lent.

          The attached prayer, which I will pray during our ZOOM worship time tonight, February 23, at 7:00 PM, comes out of Kitty and I talking about how nice it would be to get away, take a vacation, as well as what I’ve heard many people say about having had enough of the virus, the chaos, the mess we’re in. It’s another “talking prayer” so it’s not one you can easily pray, but maybe it will get you started on one of your own.

          May God help us get our lives back and continue to lead us to more normal living,

Pastor Halenza
