HELP NEEDED
As a consequence of some budget cuts, the Jr Warden Division is taking on the weekly task of cleaning the church offices, bathrooms, Clardy Hall and sanctuary (approximately $4,000/year). This will be effective 1 March 2021.
So as not to over burden any one person or persons, volunteers are needed to lighten the load. Instructions, materials and consumables will be provided.
Volunteering your time is one of the Three T’s - Time, Talent and Treasure for the church.
Cleaning teams will be 2 to 3 people at a time. Experience has shown that the cleaning goes very quickly once started (less than 2hrs). Wiping down the church for the Sunday service will be a part of the cleaning effort.
Please volunteer, your church needs you.
Contact the Jr. Warden, Frank E. McKee if you wish to volunteer
MARCH WORSHIP CALENDAR

We must allow the Word of God to confront us, to disturb our security, to undermine our complacency and to overthrow our patterns of thought and behavior.
The great agitation in the world of today makes it more and more urgent to gain inner strength in those quiet encounters with Christ that make it possible for us to remain under his rule and authority. Situated as we are in the midst of a world that is so terribly unpeaceful, we need constant nourishment for our inner life. In short, if we want to avoid suffering inward shipwreck in the storm of public opinion and chaos, then our hidden inner being needs daily the quiet haven of communion with God.
Eberhard Arnold, The Inner Life

COLLECT
Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan: Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
