Your Churches have heard that some eligible persons may need help in getting an appointment for a vaccine, or in getting transportation to an appointment. If you are eligible for a vaccination but are having trouble getting an appointment, or need help getting to an appointment, please call Maggie in the main office at 610-688-4830 and we will find a "buddy" to help you. Several people in each church are standing by to help others. If you are not sure whether you are eligible right now, please also reach out to us.

St. Martin's Music Director Emily Barth and Soloist Derek Anthony Wilson are excited to continue the success of their "Anthem Series" with a "Favorite Hymns" Series! Which hymns have you missed singing? This Sunday, February 28th, is the last day to submit your requests to Emily at music@stmartinsradnor.org. If you need ideas, visit "Popular Texts" on Hymnary.org, or search "Hymnal 1982" on the same site and scroll through the titles. We welcome hymns from all church traditions!

The first batches of soup were delivered to The Great Valley Food Cupboard on Tuesday. Thank you to Sherrill Rowland and Susan Underwood who were this week's cooks. We still need soup preparers, so sign up using this link to Sign Up Genius https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B094FAFAD2CAB9-lenten for the week or weeks that you would like to prepare quart containers of homemade soup. Containers and instructions are available at both St. Martin's and Christ Church. A typical pot of soup usually yields between 4-5 quarts. Label the containers with the type of soup and return them to either church. If you have questions, please contact Pam Faber.

Many thanks to all who contributed recipes, time, art, quotes, and most of all money to help our local food pantries. Overall the two churches collected $1,300.60! That is an amazing effort. We also know that we are the role models for our children and teens, who saw first hand generosity sparking even more generosity. They experience how they really can make a positive difference—but that it takes a whole community coming together to follow Christ when he called us to feed the hungry. So again, thank you.

Lent is a time for reflection and getting down to basics. Our path through the liturgy continues. We are now looking at the worship service through this Lenten lens. Last week we talked about being on a journey into the wilderness, and also discussed the subject of evil. However, in our fight against evil we also prayed a children's version from part of the Great Litany. One of the wonderful things about the Episcopal Church is how we pray for everyone and everything! So take a moment to read the adult version of the Great Litany on p. 148 in the Book of Common Prayer (https://www.bcponline.org/GreatLitany/Litany.html) as part of your Lenten discipline.

In Sunday School this week we will focus more on Communion, also known as the Eucharist. You are invited to watch or join our discussions because Zoom Sunday School is open for all ages. We begin at 9:30 am each Sunday.

We continue using the "Living Well Through Lent" booklet as the basis for our Bible Discussion. This is open to all members of St. Martin's and Christ Church, and to friends and family as well. We will be listening with all our hearts, souls, strength, and minds. The books are provided at no cost, and we can also share a PDF version. We will be gathering again on Tuesday, March 2, at 1pm. Among our challenges to having conversations with God are all the distractions, so that will be part of what we share. Think about your own distractions, and then join us to be part of the larger conversation.

Each week we view Art in the Christian Tradition as part of our time together, and this week we had a photograph with a quote from the Psalms. Even if you can't meet at 1pm on Tuesdays, you can spend some time listening for God while contemplating an image. Here is the one from February 23rd: https://files.constantcontact.com/97366e93201/e60e9d92-8b6b-4133-827b-c7c06cf4678e.pdf

The Joint Book Club held an organizational meeting this past Tuesday, the 23rd. The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 23rd at 7:30 PM via Zoom. Going forward, the group will meet approximately monthly for one hour on Tuesday evenings.

The book being discussed is When Truth Is All You Have: A Memoir of Faith, Justice, and Freedom for the Wrongly Convicted by Jim McCloskey and Philip Lerman. If you would like to participate, please contact Nancy Breitling at nanbreit@verizon.net or 484-580-8268. David DeWitt will send out the Zoom details closer to the next meeting date.

It was Jim McCloskey's chaplain assignment at the Trenton State Prison that set him on the path to establish Centurion Ministries, a group devoted to overturning wrongful convictions. The book chronicles stories of faith, doubt, failure, and triumph. An interview detailing his story can be heard on the NPR program Fresh Air.
