SOUP SUPPERS

We will not be able to have our annual Wednesday Soup Suppers before our midweek Lent services. However, you can make soup suppers at home on Wednesdays, thanks to our wonderful cooks! Several members of Lord of Life have shared their soup recipes for you to make at home. This week, Chopin Kiang is sharing his Bok-Choy Tofu Baby-Corn Mushroom Soup with us. You can see a demonstration of how to cook this tasty soup here.

Lent/Easter 2021 focus will be on texts from the Gospel of Mark that show Jesus’ journey from baptism to the cross. Pick up your devotional booklet at church. More info and tips for getting the most from your devotional.

The Hands of Faith Fair Trade Store is celebrating this important day by inviting women and girls to stop in the store March 6, 7, 10 or 13 to view the many women-made handicrafts we have and to register for a drawing for a $25 gift certificate. No purchase is required. The drawing will be at 2 pm on March 13. IWD is all about choices for women and girls. One winner of the gift card will get to choose gifts from HOF for herself or her friends. All of us get to make choices about equality and supporting Fair Trade artisans.
