Collect for this Sunday:
O Lord, you have taught us that without love whatever we do is worth nothing: Send your Holy Spirit and pour into our hearts your greatest gift, which is love, the true bond of peace and of all virtue, without which whoever lives is accounted dead before you. Grant this for the sake of your only Son Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

| Broadway Series: The Sound of Music |
| |
Few musicals have better captured a true story - or the heart of the audience more - than the Sound of Music. If you're like many, you may have caught yourself saying that it's, "One of My Favorite Things."
Join Phil Campbell in the next installment of our Broadway Series on February 24 at 7 p.m. as he shares the music and the back-stories of Maria von Trapp's life. And join Maria in her fearlessness and willingness to "Climb Ev'ry Mountain!"
Please consider bringing goodies to share with others if possible. Contact: Phil Campbell, 508-761-4314; [email protected]. |

"A Retreat in Five Parts: Living on the Edges"
March 8, 15, 22, 29, April 5
Let us return to the Lord in rest and stillness, allowing Jesus to be our companion in the wilderness through study, group and individual reflection. We'll explore the Lenten Sunday Gospel stories from Matthew of people living on the edges of life and death, doubt and faith, isolation and community, fear and trust. These are the stories of our times and our own hearts. Soup supper at 6:30 p.m., program 7-8 p.m. ending with candlelit Compline (evening prayers). Children's program will take place 7-8 p.m. Lenten Sunday Forum
The Joy of Confession:
Reclaiming Reconciliation in the Episcopal Church
March 5, 12, 19, 26, April 2
Maybe joyful is the last thing you associate with memories of going to confession. Perhaps you've heard a lot of talk about reconciliation in our divided world and wonder what it really means in terms of our faith. We'll be exploring this new book, currently a manuscript, to be published by Forward Movement in the summer and piloted now by our congregation. Copies available for free however a $3 donation would be appreciated to cover the cost of printing; please sign up on the clipboard outside the sanctuary to receive one. Each chapter will explore topics of "Sin," "Reconciliation in the Bible," "Shame/Guilt/Joy", "Forgiveness & Release," and "Resurrection and Renewal." |

| NEW! Credit Card Donation Kiosk |
| |
For those who seldom carry cash or would prefer to use a credit card, there is a kiosk in the entrance hall outside the sanctuary, next to the elevator, that allows you to use the "Square" app on our iPad to use your credit card. You may either insert your chip card, wave your phone for Apple Pay or swipe the magnetic strip on your card. You can designate your gift as a "loose plate" donation, give an offering for Sunday or holiday altar flowers or even contribute to your pledge. Ask an usher for help if you have any questions, but the kiosk is self-service. Give it a try today! |
