1. This Sunday (March 6th) - This is Transfiguration Sunday. You'll notice a common theme in all of our scripture passages: ascending to experience the glory of the Lord. What have been the moments in your life where you've been uniquely aware of the presence of God? What was going on in your life at that time? Where were you? What was it that made you feel like God was present? We'll look together at Jesus' time on the Mount of Transfiguration as we consider the presence of the glory of the Lord in our lives.
2. Ashes to Fire - Lent is soon upon us! Ash Wednesday is next week - March 9th. Plan on being a part of our Service of Ashes that evening (7:00 PM) as we kick off the season and our daily emphases through scripture reading, inspirational reading, and prayer (there will be no community dinner/discussion that evening). These emphases will surface in every aspect of our weekly church rhythms: Sunday mornings, Sunday School, and Bible Studies. For more on this journey through the seasons of Lent & Easter, check out the website: www.ashestofire.com. Watch the introductory video again here.

On Tuesday March 29, 1001 from 7:00-8:30 pm we will be hosting Kristen Alberino (from Metropolitan Public Affairs specialist-social security administration). She will be presenting "Social Security - What you need to know". Social Security is widely recognized as the most successful domestic program in the history of our country. Its importance comes from the fact that it was designed as a financial floor of protection for all of us. During our presentation we will discuss, the role of Social Security in our society, as well as the benefits and services provided by Social Security; how to qualify for benefits; what Social Security offers for online services.
