Let us remember to lift up the needs, concerns, and joys of others in our weekly prayers! We pray for one another: We pray for those who need healing and wholeness. This week we pray for Mike Wilms. If you know of someone for whom you would like prayers, make your request known to pastor or complete a prayer request located in the hallway immediately next to the church office door. We care for one another: If you have any special need or know someone who does (e.g. dinner for new moms, meals after hospitalization, short term help like lawn cutting or snow removal) reach out to the Caring Tree by contacting Jean Foltin or Pastor Dale. Prayer for Peace – Thank you for many prayers for Peace written and submitted last Sunday. We offer up these prayers in worship on Sundays in Lent, as well as on Facebook. Follow Peace Lutheran on Facebook to support your journey from Ashes to Easter. This Sunday (March 8) Scripture Reflection: We are focused these weeks of Lent on sacred scriptures that reveal the heart and goodness of God toward all God’s creation, all people and nations. This week, read John 3:1-17 and find yourself searching with Nicodemus for new life, and be renewed in the Spirit of the One who “so loved the world that he gave his only son.” Next Sunday (March 15) Scripture Reflection: Read the detailed narrative of “Jesus and the woman at the well” in John 4:5-42. Have you ever known real thirst? Not only a physical thirst, but spiritual – longing and reaching out from a dry and empty place? Imagine the new life that is ours when Jesus’ living water fills our hearts and minds afresh! “Jesus, give me this water so I”ll never be thirsty again!” Adult Education this Sunday March 8 @ 9:15am: “A New Family: Opening the Doors of the Church” Rachel Held Evans was a gift to the church, seeking to channel the heart of God for all peoples. She was a person who reached for the outsider and brought their voice and perspective into the fold. She inspired change and sometimes provoked resistance. Tragically, Rachel died in 2019 at the young age of 37. We will explore some of the many gifts she left behind. Drop in any Sunday or all five (March 8 – April 5) for video and discussion. Her hope – and ours – is to start more conversations than end them. Pick up the monthly PRINTS OF PEACE PLUS to stay informed and connected about ongoing opportunities. You will find this green Prints of Peace supplement on the table in the narthex or at www.PeaceLutheranLZ.com.
