MARCH WORSHIP CALENDAR
++++++++++++++++++++
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

I knew before that God gave life to humankind and desires that they should live; now I understand more than that. I understand that God does not wish people to live apart, and therefore he does not reveal to them what each one needs for himself; but he wishes them to live united, and therefore reveals to each of them what is necessary for all. I now understand that though it seems to people that they live by care for themselves, in truth it is love alone by which they live. He who has love is in God, and God is in him, for God is love.
Leo Tolstoy, The Gospel in Tolstoy

COLLECT
O God, whose glory it is always to have mercy: Be gracious to all who have gone astray from your ways, and bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth of your Word, Jesus Christ your Son; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

They also have a intercessory prayer box on the table in the Narthex to deposit prayer requests. Prayer request cards may be found in the pews and beside the box in the Narthex. Daughters pray daily.

I saw a film last week which, by the time you read this, will be available for viewing on your internet-connected device. I saw it because Joe Morgenstern—the film critic of the Wall Street Journal—said that it was simply good and you ought to see it. He went on to say more, but that actually is enough.
