GloryBound is Happening This Summer! This is a high school event that will take place July 1215 in Dallas. If you are interested contact Sarah Pulliam. Those attending GloryBound are asked to help with the Lenten meal on Wednesday, February 21st. There are still openings for ushering Sunday mornings. Please contact Lindel Davis if you are interested. Midweek and Confirmation classes will take a break and resume in April. Join us for the Lenten services instead.
Signs of Lent Like signs we see along the roads that tell us what to do, we see signs along the way on our Lenten journey that show us the way to Christ. In our Lenten worship this Wednesday, we remember how Peter tried to put a Stop sign in front of Jesus on his way to the cross. But Jesus helped him (and us) to see that he could only stop when he reached the cross to save us all. Next Sunday we will talk about the need to slow down on our Lenten Journey.
If you are a newly elected council member or just want to update your old picture, please see Jane Bronstad to get a new one taken.
After the second service today, a representative of Family Promise will give us an update on this organization and talk about how you can be involved in helping homeless families with children here in Grayson County.
During Lent we will be collecting donations for Military Bible Sticks. These are given free of charge to members of the Armed Forces. A sample of a Bible Stick is on display in the Narthex. If you would like to help support this project please make a donation to Grace with a memo for Faith Comes Be Hearing. If you have questions please contact Debi Wendorf.
The flowers on the Altar are in celebration of the birthdate of Melvin Schulze, father of Yvonne Rogers Want to stay informed? Sign up for Remind!
