Dear Members, Visitors, and Friends of the Congregation,

          If you read last week’s prayer, then the attached prayer, which I will pray during our Mid-week Lenten Service tonight on ZOOM at 7:00 PM, will be very familiar to you because it’s pretty much the same prayer. Since I wasn’t able to pray it due to the service being cancelled, I thought I would go ahead and pray it this week. The prayer reflects the call of Lent and comes from hearing and seeing how Christians often talk about God and act. Once again, it is a part “talking prayer” and part traditional prayer. I can only hope that it speaks to you in some way and gets you thinking about the sin at the heart of all sin and helps you pray your own prayers.

          Please be aware that we will conduct Parking Lot Communion services the second Saturday of every month at 11:00 AM until most everyone is attending in-person Sunday worship. The next service will be held on March 13.

          May God continue to grace us with the patience and strength we need to get beyond the virus and lift us in hope throughout these days,

Pastor Halenza
