Sunday, February 25 is Commitment Sunday!
These past weeks have been an opportunity for Atonement, collectively and individually, to reflect on God’s generosity to us and our faithful response to Him. After reading the devotions, watching the videos, sharing our stories at Tell the Story social events, asking questions, and spending time with Him in prayer, we will be collecting commitment cards during Sunday’s offering. The commitment can be fulfilled weekly, monthly, or yearly over the next 3 years. Please contact Pastor Don or any members of the
Yes, and…
leadership team if you have any questions about the capital appeal.
There is one more Tell the Story event before Commitment Sunday. We invite you to
McGonigal's in Barrington on Friday, February 23 from 7-9pm
to enjoy friendship and faith and to talk about the future. If you haven’t been to one of these free events yet, we encourage you to come to this one! This is great opportunity to help you make an informed and faithful decision as you participate in the appeal. Enjoy drinks and snacks while listening to our special musical guests, Mike Offutt and Karl Rosenberg.

This week we are sending you the final
Yes, and…
video. We asked several people to talk about their “yes, and…” experiences at Atonement. When have they experienced a “yes” from God and how did they respond? When did a “yes” to serve at Atonement result in surprising outcome? If you haven’t seen the previous clips, check them out on the website. Today, you can hear Peggy Lyon’s thoughtful response!

After watching the video, we encourage you to think about your own “yes, and…” stories.

During the season of Lent, our Sunday morning services will focus on the "The Way of the Cross" and our Lenten mid-week services will also explore what it means to be followers of "The Way." Beginning on February 21. running through March 21, they will conducted each Wednesday from 7:15 to 8:00pm in the Sanctuary. The service style will be contemplative and based on Sunday's Narrative Lectionary gospel readings. Please join us as we explore what it means to be people of the Way and learn what Jesus is teaching and showing us through the raising of Lazarus, washing of feet, Peter's detail, his way of truth and surrender.
