Postponed: Forgiveness
Workshops with Dr. Gayle Reed
Our 3-part Forgiveness Program,
which were scheduled to begin with a
sermon this coming Sunday, February 17,
will be indefinitely delayed due to the
fact that our leader, Gayle Reed, has
experienced some unforeseen health
problems. It is possible Gayle may
resume her workshops some time after
Easter but for now we ask that you keep
Gayle in your prayers.

"No other
foundation: inhabiting the stories of
scripture"
This week's bible
study, lead by Bishop Miller, was
well-attended and included a wonder meal
provided by our friends at Good
Shepherd. The Bishop's study focuses on
the different Passion narratives found
in the Gospels and there are two
evenings remaining: Feb. 20 and Feb. 27
(Wednesdays). Join us for a Eucharist at
5:15pm, dinner at 6pm, and
study/discussion starting at 6:45pm.
Please note that several
communications last week
mistakenly listed the
Eucharist as starting at
5:45pm. We apologize for any
inconvenience this caused
for those who attended this
Wednesday.

Our Neighbors Need
Your Help
At the YWCA there is a section called Third
Street housing mothers and infants to 5
years. Another area shelters homeless
families. A third has the capability to
house 100 single women.
Grace is coordinating a special
donations drive, and asking you to add a few
items to your shopping list during Lent. A
list of requested items will be included in
the bulletin for the next few weeks and can
also be found at the link below.
Donations may be left in the labeled bin
at the back of the church or near the office
in the reception area.
