Fifth Sunday in Lent

Happy pi (3.14) day! 
Lent is coming to a close as approach the fifth Sunday and Holy Week is right behind. Last weekend we had a very successful one-day retreat for about 35 of us. Over three hours, there was time for meditation, reading and fellowship. This weekend the children have a similar opportunity for participating in Jesus' life in a family oriented experience of preparing for the resurrection and Easter Sunday. Details below.
Come tonight for the continuation of our series on Christian Ethics. The Historic Traditions group has prepared our soup supper and it smelled super (souper??) yesterday as it was being prepared! Come join the discussion about this important subject.
"Sir, we wish to see Jesus." is our Gospel text Sunday and paired with Jeremiah's covenant. I'll be preaching again in the church for all three services and Fred+ will be in the Gathering. This Sunday we have a J2A parents and pilgrims meeting at 11:45 and a "Paint Party" fundraiser at 2:00pm. So, it is a busy day!
Next Tuesday, March 20, we present our proposal for expansion to the City Council for approval. This is the "Conditional Use" approval. We are also very close to signing with a contractor and architect for actual construction drawings... and then it gets busy! Keep us in your prayers.
If anyone is interested in baptism, we are scheduling from Easter Vigil (Saturday night, March 31) throughout Easter season (May 20 is the Feast of Pentecost and end of Easter). Let me know as soon as possible.
Peace and grace,
