Intentional Faith Development Radical Hospitality Extravagant

FIVE FRUITFUL PRACTICES We have committed to strengthening our life and mission together through a focus on five specific, Spirit-led practices: Radical Hospitality; Passionate Worship; Intentional Faith Development; Risk-Taking Mission and Service; and Extravagant Generosity.
As we exercise these qualities of the Christian life together, we will grow personally and as a congregation in fulfilling the will of God: to live lives that are dedicated to Christ and committed to serving God.

February is “HELP THE HELP OFFICE” Month
The Help Office, located at 1316 W. 4th Street in Owensboro, is a
Christian agency started by a group of churches (including Settle Memorial) in 1971. Its mission is to provide emergency assistance to the
poor and to prevent duplication of services.
To meet these needs the Help Office has a director (Woody Woodward), and manager (Janet Zachary), who supervise a staff of over 80
volunteers. Volunteers interview clients to help determine their specific needs. A referral may be made to another agency or assistance
given directly. Funding is made possible through the generous donations of individuals, businesses, and churches throughout Owensboro.
No Government or United Ways funds are used.

First Baptist, Third Baptist, First Christian, First Presbyterian, and
First United Methodist in Henderson. They will sing beautiful music
from “How Great Thou Art,” to Brahms “How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place,” to a Handel Messiah movement, to a movement from Mendelssohn’s Elijah. Diane Earle will play a movement of a Mozart piano concerto, Marc Zyla a movement from a Mozart French horn
concerto, and the orchestra will play some wonderful music as well.
Nicholas Palmer will conduct. The free-will offering from the concert
will go to the Help Office, Boulware Mission, St. Benedict’s Shelter,
and our Good Samaritan Fund. Save the date-March 29, at 4pm, in
the Sanctuary. You won’t want to miss this breathtaking concert!

A Rocky Road: Joshua 4:21-24
In the Bible, journeys are sometimes marked with rocks as a way to show where something important has happened
- to mark the way across a difficult path - to say “We were here. We endured.” Hikers often leave behind a rock
cairn to mark the path for fellow hikers and at the peak of a mountain to celebrate a moment of achieving the summit.
Consider writing a word on the rock you received this morning—a word about your spiritual journey, something you
need from God, your struggles, your questions, your triumphs, your joy. What do you need to put on the altar? Do
you need to put down a worry or concern? Perhaps the rock represents a new direction or a new thing God is doing
in your life. Hold the rock this Lent as a sign of something God wants to do in your life during Lent.
