Lent begins next week with Ash Wednesday. Lent is my favorite time of the church year. I like the Wednesday after school church services, and I have to admit I like the meals following. During Lent I try to recommit myself to personal devotions and prayer. This is a time to focus on Jesus and His great love for us. Jesus gave His life so that I can life.
For it is by GRACE you have been saved through faith and this is not from yourselves it is a gift of God, not a result of works so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
There is nothing I can do to gain forgiveness and eternal life it is God's gift through Jesus! So instead of giving something up for Lent try doing the opposite and adding something ... maybe commit to Wednesday night church, attend Sunday Bible Classes, do personal devotions, do family devotions, or make weekend worship a priority in your family. I know your faith life will be strengthened.
LENT WORSHIP CENTERS: Monday we will begin making a worship center for your home to help you will Lent Devotions. This will come home on Tuesday, the cross can be used like an advent wreath, as you light a candle each week till Easter. Lent begins on Wednesday so you will light the candle and add candles on Wednesdays. I hope this helps your family focus your thoughts to Christ this Lent. If you need a Lent family devotion book please let me know. Thank you to my father in law, Mr. David Bernhardt, for cutting out the crosses for us.
NOTE FROM MR. DEBRICK: Wednesday the 10th is Ash Wednesday, and begins Zion’s 3:30 (and 7:00) Lenten services. Congregation members will be coming for the 3:30 service as school is being dismissed. The handicapped parking spots outside the church entrance and in front of Jr. High should be kept open for these service goers. Thank you for NOT parking in these handicap spots for after school pick up.
NO SCHOOL NEXT FRIDAY: WINTER BREAK
Please included everyone and remember please DO NOT send in candy or food with the valentines.
At our party we will also be making Valentine's and paper flowers to give to shut ins. WE NEED YOUR HELP IN DELIVERING THE FLOWERS AND CARDS. If you are willing to help please come to my room after school on Thursday and pick up some names and addresses. It would be great if each shut in could be visited and receive our Valentines and flowers. We will also be putting gift baskets together for two Lutheran High students with brain cancer. I will deliver the baskets to them.
