The Hadden Journey in South Dakota
This week our Lenten service focus is on Amanda and Matt Hadden in South Dakota and their mission at the Chanku Waste Ranch. The Hadden’s serve the indigenous people of that area. Amanda is the granddaughter of Sandy and Pete Cavendar.
See your Lenten packet for ideas of things you can do for the Haddens and their three children. Above all other – continue to pray for them and their work in South Dakota.
Our March meeting will be Thursday, March 18, 2021 at 10am in the Fellowship Hall.
Please wear a mask to protect those who have not been vaccinated. We plan to meet together for lunch after the meeting at Big Joes next to Captain D’s. Everyone welcome! We plan to eat outside if weather permits. If members need tax forms, contact Betsy.
If you go forth in Love you will find your Peace. Vivian Snyder, Secretary

MINISTRY MESSAGE: INTER-GENERATIONAL & YOUTH MINISTRY, March 17, 2021:
In Inter-generational Ministry, we are continuing our church-wide Lenten Study. The class is gathering via Zoom on Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:30 am throughout the Lenten season. Each week, we are exploring how forgiving others and asking for forgiveness are central disciplines for all Christians. Last Sunday we studied Luke 23:32-43, while focusing on the need for repentance. We discussed what is required of a true apology which includes humble admission of wrong and avoids defense of oneself. Such an apology often requires help from God to lead us to the place of a contrite heart. This week we will be discussing the concept of offering forgiveness while studying Matthew 18:23-35.
Coming up in Youth Ministry will be a Youth Fundraiser Car Wash on Saturday, March 27th! Everyone is invited to drop by the church Worship Center parking lot between 9:00 am-1:00 pm on the 27th. For only $5, you can get your car sparkling clean just in time for spring! The Car Wash is part of the Cokes Chapel “Lenten Service Journey.”
Also in Youth Ministry, the youth will be meeting at the Youth House this Sunday, March 21st from 5:00-6:30 pm to prepare for the car wash. We will organize our plan and paint signs for the event!
God is at work all around us! May we hold each other by heart and lift each other by prayer as we journey together, and apart!
With love,
Kim
