Here are the readings for this Sunday February 28, 2021 and the one we’re focusing on are in bold: Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16; Psalm 22:23-31; Romans 4:13-25; Luke 15:11-32
This Sunday we welcome Dr. Neil Craton, author of the book, Wisdom from the Homeless. You might remember that Dr. Craton was to come to worship last March but was cancelled when our building closed. On the invitation from the Outreach and Worship Committees, Dr. Craton offers his message virtually in worship this Sunday.
The season of Lent is here and we are looking for families to record the Lenten Candle lighting from their homes. It will be very similar to Advent Candle lighting. If you’d like to take part, please be in touch with Elizabeth or Irma. If you’ve not recorded before, we can help you learn this new skill! Any number of voices can take part (2 to ??) and any age.
I’ve included a Lent calendar that we sent out to the children and youth; it’s good for adults too! Take a look and see if it might enable your journey through Lent to be more meaningful and thoughtful.
Next Sunday, March 7th, we are celebrating communion. Bring a candle, a piece of bread (cracker, bun, something to eat) and something to drink (grape, orange, apple juice or water) and celebrate with us.
Action Auction is almost ready to go! Watch for the email tomorrow with details about registration and bidding along with the catalogue of everything on offer! Questions? Call Dale Kendel

Scripture for the day: (Mark 8:35-36) “He called the crowd with his disciples, and said to them, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it.”Prayer: Creator God, we have been gifted an amazing world, a legacy of faith, and a love for the ages…that we are called to sustain and pass to the next generations. Amen.
May blessing, peace and the knowledge that we are not alone on this journey; may God be a part of our week as we wander through our challenging days and evenings, knowing the spirit of God is part of all our experiences! May we all remember God in a way that keeps us going and be strong and be kind, loving and compassionate.

Please note: because of the Provincial Health order, the Executive decided to continue to postpone in person, indoor worship, and close the building to all user and church groups; staff will be in for specific tasks but mainly working from home; all home visits are postponed until further notice. Be safe and be well.
