NEXT SUNDAY’S READINGS are Ezekiel 37:1-14, Romans 8:1-11, and John 11:1-45.
CHOIR REMINDER: There is no practice today, but we will practice next Sunday after worship.
TOILET TISSUE: We are accepting donations of toilet paper for Heart, Love, & Soul. Toilet paper is a necessity that is needed everyday. Unfortunately, it cannot be purchased with SNAP benefit cards, making it one of the most requested and appreciated items by those in need. If you would like to support this project, tables will be available throughout March (two more weeks) for your donations.
MARCH MISSION ENVELOPES are designated to support Samaritan Counseling. This is a local faith-based counseling service based out of St. Martin Lutheran Church in North Tonawanda. They offer counseling at several locations, including virtual counseling. Our donations will be used by Samaritan to help defray the cost for those in need of counseling that cannot afford their usual fee. Pastor Brese worked with Samaritan in the past, and Trish Andrews referred numerous patients to them during her career with excellent feedback. Both highly recommend this agency, and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
SIMPLE SUPPERS are offered each Wednesday at 5:30 pm prior to our 6:30 pm Lenten services. All are welcome to attend. There are still a few openings on the signup sheets for volunteers to supply side dishes, desserts, or drinks if you are able to help. The signup sheet is located on the glass case.
GRACE LADIES regular monthly meeting is this Tuesday, March 17th beginning at 6PM. We will be filling Easter eggs for our Sunday School. Hostesses are Sherry Cassatt & Virginia Markel.
UNIQUE SPRING GIFTS: Find a catalog of discounted CPH Easter items (and more!) at both entrances. If you place an order through Grace by Sunday, March 15, you pay no shipping. Have questions, find your CPH Resource Program manager, Lacey Bahr (716-525-5134).
ITEMS NEEDED: Bottles of water and individual snack packs for our Sunday School kids. Bring them in, labeled for Sunday School, and leave them on a table in the chapel. The kids will bring them downstairs. Thank you!
| LENTEN SERVICE – MARCH 18th @ 6:30PM |
We talked about angels during Midweek of Lent 1. Tonight, we will talk about the darker side of the story—that is, demons. Demons are fallen angels who rebelled against God and His giving of Himself to us. Demons, with Satan chief among them, seek to undermine everything God is and does, even today. In our sermon tonight, we will hear how Jesus heals a man with a demon (Mark 5:1–13) and how that work of healing continues today.
