Hi, folks, I'm resending this because it apparently went nowhere when I sent

Subject: This Week at Christ Church

 

Dear Christ Church family, we've got a busy week ahead of us, this First
Week of Lent!  In addition to our regular Morning Prayer, Bible Study and
Historical Jesus seminar, we are starting our Wednesday Evening Lenten
Series.  Our focus will be Medieval Women Mystics, and we will be meeting
the in Fireside room each Wednesday evening at 6:15.  We will start with a
simple soup supper before the program, and will end with a short worship
service.  We will not go beyond 8PM.

 

Alice Larse has offered to bring two kinds of soup, and we could also use
bread and salad.  Who can provide us with one or both of those?

 

Secondly, Alice has asked me to remind you about CSA Sunday this week.  Here
is her message:

 

"CSA second week food drive is coming up next Sunday, March 8, 2009.  Last
month we delivered 251 pounds of food.  Continue bringing food every Sunday
or when you remember but the big push will be the second Sunday.  You can
put your contributions directly in a designated van at the top of the walk
down to the church.  It would be best to bring your fresh oranges on this
Sunday.

 

  "In talking with the manager of the CSA food program we learned some of
the special needs, and the needs are great.  Cooking oil was on the list,
cans with the easy open pull tops, soups in microwave containers, cereal and
the list goes on.  They receive plenty of bread from other sources.  The
director mentioned that some of the convenience stores are allowing the
homeless to heat up food items in their microwaves.  Praise The Lord!  Let
us continue doing a good job!"

 

LASTLY: THIS IS "SPRING FORWARD" WEEKEND.  Before you go to bed Saturday
night, set your clocks ahead one hour.

 

Blessings,

Jim
