The Way of Love: Following Jesus & Changing the World
This week’s word is: GO. “Look to the interests of others, a small but significant imitation of Jesus’ death on a cross, who looked to the interest of all creation. Practice in small things, keeping in mind that those who are faithful in little are faithful in much. Not to trivialize Jesus’ death, but for those of us who will inevitably fall short of the glory of God, making small efforts that Jesus can bless and use strengthens the synapses of our Christ-like mind. Let that person ahead of you in traffic. Be the first to apologize. Tip generously. Make the call, send the note, ask that beleaguered person if they are all right. None of these come close to the death on a cross of our Savior but each honors his sacrifice and attunes our minds and hearts to the world he so loves.” (Lent in Plain Sight: A Devotion Through Ten Objects by Jill Duffield, Wednesday of “Week Three: Cross”)

Lent in Plain Sight: A Devotion Through Ten Objects, by Jill J. Duffield, draws our attention to ordinary objects that Jesus would have encountered on his way to Jerusalem: dust, bread, the cross, coins, shoes, oil, coats, towels, thorns, and stones. The book is available on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback formats. We encourage you to begin reading on Ash Wednesday to prepare for the first meeting on March 1. The discussions will be led by the Rector and Amy Foster. Please email or call the parish office to request the link.

April 1st!! It’s not April Fool’s Day! It’s April Foods Day!!!
Our Community Food/Diaper Drives will start again in St. Paul’s parking lot on Saturday, April 1st. This is a week earlier than our usual second Saturday of the month so not to interfere with Holy Week and Easter. Please take advantage of sales at the grocery stores during March to help us replenish the shelves at Master’s Manna. Since no food drives were held since December, Master’s Manna is in need of many items – canned fruit, cereal, jelly (and peanut butter), canned fish and meat, pasta, sauce, rice and potato sides, and cake and brownie mixes for Easter desserts. Please mark your calendars for April 1st, 9:00-12:00 and drive thru St. Paul’s parking lot to drop off your nonperishable food donations. Or you can bring in donations early and leave them under the table outside the church office. And if you would like to help at the food drives, even for an hour, we would love to have you join us in the parking lot.
