Small Groups
Custom Designed
Reflection Guide” is the
Lent 2015 Small Group
Conversation and
Congregational Read
Book. Looking for a
Lenten discipline to
enhance your spiritual
journey? Why not join a
small group!
The small group/congregational read book is
“Custom Designed Reflection Guide: Ordinary
People Hearing God’s Call”. We'll focus on how
God has “Custom Designed” us with special
gifts, experiences, and a call. Each of the
book’s 12 chapters has a short teaching
section on a facet of our call followed by many
reflection exercises. It is organized under five
"P" words. Each of these P words is a section:
Power, Places, Plan, Purpose, and Press on.
We will read and discuss, explore and consider
each of the "P" word sections during the weeks
of Lent.
Pick up your copy of the book, and stop in
Hyson Hall today to sign-up.

your home or an ELCA World Hunger Appeal
envelope to make your donations. Lenten
World Hunger packets are available at the
exits of the sanctuary. Please take one and
read the information inside. In addition
please consider these other ways that you
can make a difference for a hungry world:

Each week of Lent, change to a lowcost simple meal instead of a full meal or
eating out, and use the cost savings as a
donation to this appeal
 Donate canned goods to our monthly
food cupboard drive
 Sponsor our students participating in
their 30 hour famine
 Volunteer at our F.E.A.S.T. program
 Make a dinner for our Code Blue Shelter
 Encourage and support our Sunday
Church School children in their canned
food drive
 Join an advocacy group such as Bread
for the World at www.bread.org
 Find out where the food pantry in your
community is located and get involved
 Remember the hungry and poor in your
prayers
Through our giving and caring, through
our advocacy and action, we can make a
life-saving difference for the hungry. Thank
you for supporting this appeal!

C OMMEMORATIONS
FOR THE
W EEK
As a means of recognizing the witness of exemplary Christians throughout church history,
Evangelical Lutheran Worship includes many commemorations which may be observed in corporate worship as well as in personal devotions.
Monday, February 23, 2015-Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, martyr, died 156
Because he is said to have been known by John, the author of Revelation, as well as the
important early church fathers Irenaeus and Ignatius, Polycarp serves as a vital link in church
history. He was burned at the stake at age 86 for refusing to renounce his faith.
Wednesday, February 25-Elizabeth Fedde, deaconess, died 1921
Born in Norway and trained there as a deaconess, Fedde was asked to come and minister to
the poor and to seamen in New York City. She established the Deaconess House in Brooklyn as
well as Deaconess Hospital in Minneapolis.
Sunday, March 1-George Herbert, hymnwriter, died 1633
An excellent scholar, Herbert served briefly in the English parliament, then became a parish
priest. He was known for devoted care of his parishioners, as well as for writing poetry and
hymns, including "Come, my way, my truth, my life." He died at age 40.
