Please have food items in the kitchen by 4:30 pm Thursday, Feb 19. LENTEN BIBLE STUDY: "He Set His Face to Jerusalem” In this Lenten study, we'll explore Jesus’ commitment to go to Jerusalem. The Gospel of Luke says, “When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem” (Luke 9:51). Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem will help us reflect on how we “set our faces” in life. “As followers of Jesus, we are called to reflect on and pray about where we set our faces day by day. Where do we set our faces in our relationships with God and with our neighbor? Where do we set our faces with our ethical choices? Where do we set our faces when we see those who are poor and oppressed?” As we set our faces to Jerusalem and to the ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus, what difference does it make? What does Jesus’ determination say to us about our commitments and about our need to grow in love of God and neighbor? This is a great opportunity for small groups and individuals! There will also be a Facebook page where we will share and discuss. Information on this will be available soon. Books are available for $7.00 in the Lobby. Looking forward to the journey! Two Wheel Chairs and a Walker with wheels are now in service for those with mobility challenges. Please do not hesitate to let the greeters & lay shepherds know of anyone who needs this service to enter the church.

EER serves approx. 75 children, and we can help them have a nice Easter basket on April 5. Outreach/Witness are asking for donations of basket grass, candy, 5-inch chocolate Easter Bunnies, egg coloring kits, and 16 count crayons. The collection box is under the table in the Lobby. They also need monetary donations to purchase baskets and coloring books for each child. You can use a pew envelope and mark it EER Easter. You are invited to help assemble the baskets on Feb 28th from 10a -noon in Roth Hall. They will also be assembling Ziploc bags filled with candy for those families that already have baskets to use. Families get help from EER only once a month, so that is why they need to have baskets ready for distribution each Monday. Let’s get hopping!
