“Finding practical ways to give glory to God, neighbor and self.”

Scripture: Matthew 5:38-42

Sermon: "Going The Second Mile"

by Pastor Paul Tangonan

We invite you to worship with our worship leadership team via Facebook. The service will begin at 10:00 am and if you log on to the CVUMC Facebook page, instructions will be provided on how to view the worship service. We will also be posting the service on our website www.cvumc.org where a Youtube version will be available around noon on Sundays for those of you who do not have Facebook. There you can worship at your convenience.

In addition, our prayer team will be available to pray for you. You can text, call or email Pastor Paul, Jeanne Lavieri 818-383-3134, Debi Bois 310-600-5939, Diane Lewis 818-497-4680 or Janice Burke 818-497-8431.

Lent is a time for stillness and contemplation and we have had an abundance of opportunities for that throughout the last year. So for Lent this year, we thought it would be good to offer some opportunities to observe Lent in each other’s company. We are offering a special midweek time, Wednesdays at 7 PM, to gather prayerfully on Zoom during Lent. You are welcome to attend any or all of them. We will read some scripture and devotions and have time to pray together.

All you need to do is click on the Zoom link below at 7 PM on 3/3, 3/10, 3/17, 3/24, and 3/31. If you’re not familiar with Zoom and would like some help, feel free to contact Jeanne Lavieri; (818)383-3137 or jnlavieri@earthlink.net.

Spring Tea

Saturday, March 13: 1:00 – 2:30 pm

Our United Methodist Women are hosting a Spring Tea with a St. Patrick’s Day theme, on Saturday, March 13, from 1:00 – 2:30 pm. As we did last year, we will meet on Zoom. We’ll probably play a couple of simple games but mostly we’ll use our time together to catch up with each other. Think of a favorite childhood memory or a special event in your life that you’d like to share. Wear a special hat if you like, bring a special tea pot and tea cup, and enjoy the fellowship! Linda Neate will email the Zoom access code a few days before the Tea. Questions or suggestions? Contact anyone on the UMW Board (see the monthly newsletter for names of Board members and the church Directory for phone numbers & emails)

Next week, March 6th

Bailey Center and Learning Works:

Alternate Saturdays: March 6th and 20th. Food Pantry collection 9:00 – 1:00 outside of Fellowship Hall. Non-perishable foods and paper goods collected for Bailey Center & Learning Works. Financial donations also welcome.
