Sunday - We had a great start to our series last week. The discussion after the sermon was very valuable! This week our main passage is from 1 Corinthians 1:18-25. Paul tells the church in Corinth that "the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God." And so again we see God's power come through that which is weak. In and through the cross, God brings his powerful life. We'll explore this and more on Sunday.Along with Church being at 9:30am and Sunday School at 10:30am it is also Daylight Savings Time so don't forget to set your clocks an hour ahead!
Shared Strength- In anticipation of our partnership with a church ministry in Guatemala, we will have cross cultural training after worship at 1:00pm, on March 18th and 25th. Bring a bag lunch. The training is not just for those going on the 1st trip but is for anyone who might want to go in the future and for anyone who is interested in learning about cross-cultural things and being involved in the partnership in any way. There are still a couple of books available in the Chapel office. The book is meant to be read prior to the trainings.Global Partnership- As we enter into this partnership, anyone who is interested in helping to finance the first trip could place an offering in a box and designate it for the trip. The cost for lodging, food and transportation in the country will be about $125-$150 per person, which the church is planning to pay. Airfare is $582 per person. Those going on the trip are Pastor Jeremy, Ed, Jen, Nathan, Lauren and Lora Wooster (our Partnership Coordinator). The church is planning to finance Pastor Jeremy's and Lora's airfare, the others to pay for themselves. The dates for the trip are May 17-21.
Potluck- Sometimes change is good! So starting with April potlucks will now take place the first Sunday of every month. For April's potluck think Spring! Various types of salads (regular salad, fruit salad, pasta salad, etc.). Sign-up sheet in the foyer.
