Lenten Series-Survivor Savoir

5:00pm starting March 2nd

"No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friend"

John 15:13

This Lent we focus on how Jesus survived the wilderness and laid down his life for all people. Jesus empowers us to know that we too will survive the trials of today and be loved by the savior. God reminds us we are all survivors, and the cross reminds us of that daily. Join our Wednesday Lenten series as we hear our member's stories of how they have survived hardship through the faith they confess.

Join us for soup suppers

following worship.

Barb's Medical Minutes

Only 1 in 10 adults eats enough fruit or veggies each day. I KNOW I’m not “The One”, are you? Research shows changing your diet can slow brain aging for 7 1/2 years. The Cleveland Clinic recommends almost any fruit or vegetable—especially apples, tomatoes, and onions. (OK, we are good so far). Also recommended: barley, brown rice, chia, flaxseed, and turmeric. (Here they lost me.) Foods to avoid: simple sugars and syrups; saturated fat; trans fats, and enriched, bleached, or refined flour. (Sure, all the good stuff!!! ) Figures. Sorry, brain.

Lois Allbeck (Kathie Winemiller's sister-in-law), Molly Blevens (daughter of Jean Gusa),Tom Langevin, Evelyn Wiegand, and Elizabeth Zachary (granddaughter of Judy Hargreaves)

Also please pray for the families being supported this week by Emmanuel through Family Promise.
