What do YOU think? We often save the best for last. We understand the last… is the most lasting. Some things are just so important, so near the heart, we lift them even when we can barely lift our heads much less our voices. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John thought last words were important, too. Especially Jesus’ last words. They gave them to us, each in their own way. What words did Jesus save ‘til the last,‘til the cross? Says tradition … (To the soldiers, accusers, scoffers, us) “Father, forgive them. They don’t know…” (To the thief) “Today. With me. In Paradise.”(To John, To Mary) “Behold your mother. Behold your son.” (To Heaven) “My God, why have you forsaken?” (To the his tormenters) “I thirst.” (To God) “It is finished. …Into your hands.” For Jesus, then, last and most lasting, very most important… forgive the unforgivable, even before they ask (though it pleases Heaven when we ask)…restore the most lost to the Most Loving God… that would be Paradise indeed. Care for the most cut-to-the-heart… give voice to most unspeakable pain so as to express the most inexpressible hope. Reveal utter humanity. Submit utterly… trust wholly… close your eyes… glimpse eternity. What Jesus saved for last: the best! Keep a Holy Lent… Ken WESTMINSTER UNITED METHODIST CHURCH COMMITTEES CHURCH COUNCIL CHAIR: Greg Louque (410)386-6424 [email protected] FINANCE CHAIR: Jennifer Munch Current Members Joan Spear, Dan Dell, Jim Isner, Jack Lyburn, Gayle Dix, Dotty Stottlemyer, Jayson Luckenbaugh, Dale Piper BOARD OF TRUSTEES CHAIR: Frank Potee (410)795-3610, [email protected] CO-CHAIR: Pat McCourt SECRETARY: Bonnie Bevard Current Members Steve Shipley, Peg Pond, Mark MacLean-Blevins, Lily Clendaniel, Ed Davis, Spike Morningstar SPRC Lord, you sent your Son to suffer death upon the cross for my redemption.

We are offering quality silk Tulips and Lilies at a cost of $12 each. Flower orders with payment are due by March 22. Flowers may be picked-up following the 10:00am service or remain in the altar area as a donation to the church. As an “ALTERNATIVE GIFT,” we suggest a monetary gift in support of Carroll County Food Sunday or World Vision’s 30 Hour Famine. Alternative gifts with payment are due by March 22. Alternative giving serves as a way of celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. Your gift will be published on Easter Sunday. CARROLL COUNTY FOOD SUNDAY Carroll County Food Sunday is our local food bank. CCFS distributes a weekly, nutritionally balanced grocery package that is predicated on household size and is meant to last 3-4 days. It includes meat, eggs, fruits, vegetables, breads and milk. More than 94% of every dollar donated buys groceries. $100 buys meat for one day of service at Food Sunday. $48 buys weekly food for a family of four. Anyone who is hungry and resides in Carroll County is eligible to receive food at CCFS. Over 400 families a week are served at their Westminster, Eldersburg and Taneytown locations. Carroll County Food Sunday is funded by community fund -raisers (such as our Alternative Giving) and direct mail solicitation of county residents. 30 HOUR FAMINE Believing the best way to overcome hunger is to equip people with the tools they need to put food on their own tables year-round, World Vision works in communities for a dozen years or more, helping them craft their own solutions to poverty. For more than 20 years, we've been doing the 30 Hour Famine with church youth like yours -- youth whose efforts are helping to overcome hunger around the world. Since the Famine started in 1992, the total number of kids under age 5 who die each day -- most of them from preventable causes like hunger, poverty, and disease -- has fallen from34,000 to 22,000. $30 feeds a child for a month. Please contribute as you are able. Every year, Alan Shawn Feinstein, a Rhode Island philanthropist, gives away $1 million nationwide to organizations that help fight hunger. By increasing our share of Mr. Feinstein’s $1 million giveaway, your alternative gifts for CCFS & 30 Hour Famine will also benefit WUMC’s soup kitchen ministry. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail to Church Office or Place in Offering Plate ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (qty) Silk Tulips, $12 each $ CCFS (qty) $ Silk Lilies, $12 each 30 Hour Famine (World Vision) Name Phone # E-Mail Address In Memory of In Honor of 3 3 4 UNITED METHODIST WOMEN O O O O UMW CIRCLE MEETINGS ur Miriam Circle meets at 9:30am on the second Monday of September and December, and on the first Monday of October, November, and February through June, in the Susanna Wesley Room.

I have said this so many times but you are truly making a difference for the Kingdom of God. I see God using all of us in many different ways as we strive to see men and women transformed into new creations for Christ. I am excited about the two additions to our ministry this year. One being a Women’s Chaplain and the other a faith-based Re-entry Ministry. Lord willing, we will continue to work hard and press on in the Lord’s work. Thank you from a very grateful Chaplain heart. May the Lord’s richest blessings be upon you this new year.
