From the Stewardship Team:
Lent is a season in the church year during which we particularly focus on the sacrifice Jesus made for us to pay the debt we owed for our sin. While we cannot repay Jesus for what he has done for us, his love does require a response. Paul writes "For Christ's love compels us ..." (2 Cor. 5:14). In these uneasy times, we may tend to focus inwardly because we feel unsure of the future. But we need to carry out the tasks which Christ left for us to do, as Matthew 25:31-46 states, "to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, care for the sick, and visit the prisoner." Our church is not our building, it is us (the people), but we need to continue to support our ministries and building even in these tough times. We are saved by grace through faith for works. Let us pray for the desire to be good stewards of our gifts in which God has given us that we might have a part in the furthering of God's kingdom!
During this time when our church building is closed, there are the following ways to be faithful with the giving of your tithes & offerings:
1. Mail your offering to NJUMC, 210 W. Central Ave., North Judson, IN 46366
2. Give Online by going to our website www.njumc.com. On the "Home" page scroll to the bottom for instructions. Or go to the "Ways to Give" page.
3. Text NJUMC to 73256.

FROM THE FOOD PANTRY ... Matthew 25: 37 & 40; (37) ..."Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you...?" (40)..."I tell you the truth, whatever you did, for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."

OUTREACH TEAM
Our Outreach Team (Food Pantry, Kid's Closet, Free Meal, Furniture Ministry) has been working overtime during this crisis to try to meet the needs of the children out of school and adults out of work. The Food Pantry is functioning as scheduled (1st & 3rd Thursdays 1-4 pm) with food being delivered safely to the cars instead of people entering the building. The Free Meal will still take place on the last Saturday (March 28th 11:00 a.m-1:00 p.m.) but as a drive-thru only. Please keep all of our Outreach Team Leaders and volunteers in your prayers!
