Journey to Easter!

Please join us as we remember the "ten objects in plain sight" that Jesus encountered on his journey to Easter. Beginning on Ash Wednesday, Settle families are presenting a Lenten reading and placing objects at the foot of the cross. This Sunday's object (March 5) is a jar of coins. Let's walk this journey together.

Update from Our Missions Team

Settle’s Mission Committee met in February and made disbursements from the Faith Promise Fund totaling $10,050 to fund the Weekend Food Bag Ministry for this semester, St. Benedict’s meal prep expenses, Habitat for Humanity, Mary Kendall Home, Henderson Settlement, Camp Loucon, Red Bird Mission, Good News Jail Ministry, Boulware Mission, Friends of Sinners, Fresh Start for Women, Christian Student Fellowship at UK (Rick Freeman support) and will provide a meal for the KWC FCA Huddle group in March. These disbursements are made possible through your gifts to the Faith Promise Fund for Missions. 

Donations to Thailand Now (Morrissey’s), UCSS (Uganda), Pioneers (Howard’s), and the Czech Republic Churches Ukraine Relief efforts, totaling $8,000, were made from the Batt fund for foreign missions. The Mission Committee will host an Easter Prayer Vigil from Maundy Thursday evening through Easter morning; details will be shared in next week’s newsletter. Our Annual Mission Emphasis will be in late April. We’ll hear what some of our mission partners are doing locally and around the world.
