1. This Sunday (April 3rd) -  As we continue in our Ashes to Fire journey this week, we come to John 9 and Jesus' healing of a blind man.  Jesus was often focusing on people that society generally did not.  When we see "Jesus in the Fringes," it's a call to us his people to find ourselves with them as well.  As you prepare for worship, read our passages and consider: Who are the people in the fringes, the periphery, or the outer edges of our society today?

There will be two newer songs introduced this Sunday.  Sarah has shared the following links so that you may preview them ahead of time: House of God, Jon Foreman & You Never Let Go, Matt Redman.  This week's Remembrance will take place outside at 5pm in front of Gardner Hall on the campus of Eastern Nazarene College.

2. Our Shelter Space - We are anticipating our current shelter guests to be moving out very soon.  They have found an apartment in Dorchester!  We would like to give them a food pounding at their new residence once they move in.  We need people to bring stuff in right now for this.

This also means that we have great need to spruce up the shelter area for our next guests.  Lauren Scott is overseeing the volunteers and detailed needs for this work.  Please contact her if you are able to help in the next week.
