Dear friends,
Here is a prayer based on Psalm 116 for us to meditate upon this week. It is especially for those feeling the weight of this past year, or the on-going exhaustion of what it is to raise--and be--a family in this season. I love the Lord, for the Lord hears my voice. I was overcome with distress, but I called on the Name of the Lord and the Lord saved me. God is gracious and righteous, full of compassion. Return to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has been good to you. Return to rest, my quieted soul, for the Lord is so good. I pray you may feel the blessings of peace, rest, and patience in the coming week.
Peace and Love,
Bryn

Faith-at-Home this Week: El Hogar
For the next two Sundays, we'll be welcoming special guests to our Sunday School time, as members of our Mission and Outreach committee join us to share all about the important mission work our church engages in. We'll study Bible stories about the ways in which God's people served God and neighbor, and we'll think about how we, too, are called to put love into action. Please join us!
Zoom 9:30am Sunday
Don't forget about your Faith-at-Home envelope for this week--we'll be learning about Honduras and how we can love neighbors near and far! Parents, this week's envelope contains a recipe. Click here for a preview in case you want to have the ingredients on-hand. |

Family Resources for the Season of Lent in Pandemic Times
Pandemic Parenting One Year In with Dr. Kramer
Local child/adolescent psychologist Dr. Kramer, whose webinars were highlighted here often last spring, is offering "Pandemic Parenting One Year In" on March 11 at 7:30pm. Dr. Kramer's insights into both what children need and what parents are going through, as well as her practical suggestions, have been greatly appreciated by many in our congregation. Zoom link.
Lent Prayer and Coloring Calendar It's never too late to start a daily Lenten spiritual practice. Join us as we meditate on one simple word each day.
Lenten Children's Story Time: YouTube
