A JOURNEY TO THE CROSS AND BEYOND
Lent is here and we encourage you to engage in daily readings throughout the
Lenten season and beyond. The Word of God is always a blessing and can inspire,
enlighten and challenge us. Daily scripture readings were highlighted in the
February newsletter and can also be found on our website home page.
The verses listed for each day attempt to follow a chronological order of “events” in
the life of Christ. In addition to the passages from Luke, there are references to other
gospel “versions” to enhance and flesh out some of the readings. May the Lord bless
us as we embark on this Lenten journey together moving toward Holy Week,
Christ’s passion and ultimately His resurrection.
FIRST BAPTIST ANNOUNCEMENTS
*Church Council voted to establish a General Supply Closet for the Church in
February. Budget money from each committee/group will be moved to a new
account to cover expenses for our consumable paper goods by the Stewardship
Committee. All paper supplies will be held and distributed from one closet.
*The Fellowship Committee is the process of planning an all-Church Guess Who’s
Coming to Dinner event in April and is in need of hosts/hostesses before
committing to the event. If you are interested in hosting this event, please sign-up
(in the Parlor) with the total number you can accommodate, your address and your
phone number. If you have questions, contact Fellowship Chair, Sandy King at 913526-8472.
*The Diaconate Committee is looking into organizing rides to Church for our
friends and members who find it challenging to get to worship on Sunday. If you
would be interested in being involved in their ministry, please contact Miriam Lemp
or the Church office.
COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS
*Communities In Schools of Ottawa is hosting a snack drive for kids. Children
facing hunger at home often need a nutritional snack during the day so they can
focus on their studies instead of their tummies. Please consider donating items such
as granola bars, breakfast bars, or individual packages of dried fruit or trail mix.
Thank you for continuing to support our students so they can be successful. Your
donations can be left at the back of the sanctuary.
*Could you volunteer your time to the Ottawa University Women’s Soccer
Team to serve as a “host family”? It could include an occasional dinner, allowing
them to use your laundry facilities or supporting them at their games. Contact John
Holzhuter at [email protected] or 248-2334 or Susan Trendel at
[email protected] or 248-2331.
*Ottawa Meals on Wheels is in dire need of volunteers to deliver meals Friday
mornings. Time commitment is about one hour. Call Pat Schulz at 242-1533 if you
can help out!
