LENT MADNESS



The world quivers in anticipation each year for the coming of Lent Madness. The Madness pits saints against each other for the coveted Golden Halo. Each day during Lent, while you read and learn about various saints, you (and thousands of other people) get to vote for your favorite in a head-to-head match-up.

The Evelyn Underhill Region will be participating in Lent Madness this year.

Our Lent Madness poster will be pinned up in the Narthex. Play along and bring your brackets to a festive Golden Halo coffee hour on Sunday, April 16. We will have games, prizes and a fun-themed coffee hour.

A bracket printout will be available in church on Sunday, or you may download the bracket here.

Learn more about Lent Madness at www.lentmadness.org.

Join us on Sunday, February 19th 8:00am and 10:00am for the

Last Sunday after the Epiphany.

ALL are welcome.

Masks are optional.

At Communion, you may receive the wine by sipping from the cup,

or you may choose Communion in one kind only (the bread).

FAMILY PROMISE HOSTING 2023

We are continuing our hospitality ministry with Family Promise in 2023. We will be hosting the weeks of:

• February 26th
• April 30th
• September 10th

For the week of February 26th, we will be "hosting" 2 families. As you may recall from last year, the families stay in long-term stay hotels.  We provide a meal for each family along with some grocery items. For our first hosting, we will deliver our meals and the grocery donations to the Family Promise office in Montclair on Tuesday morning February 28th.

All grocery donations can be dropped off at Church service on February 26th. If you are unable to deliver items to Church, please contact Linda Soughan at lindasoughan@comcast.net to make other arrangements. For meal donations, Linda will coordinate pick up. As always, Shop Rite gift cards are always a welcome addition!

For those volunteering to provide meals, Family Promise has asked that the meals be stored in square plastic containers marked with the Family number (indicated on the sign up sheet).

We are using Sign Up Genius to record all sign-ups. The link is here:

If you have any questions, please email Linda.

Thanks so much for volunteering!!

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”
