| | | | | | |  We heard in worship this weekend more of Jesus' words from the Sermon on the Mount, particularly his words about loving our enemies, praying for those who persecute us, and moving toward forgiveness. We were reminded that as hard as these things can be to do we are able to move towards doing them by the grace and help of God. And we seek to move in this direction because of what it does to us if we don't. And because of what our world would look like if no one ever forgave. As Ghandi said, "An eye for an eye, makes the whole world blind." Along with worship this weekend, the WELCA women put on a wonderful Rummage Sale on Saturday. The whole campus was filled with people. All of the proceeds of the sale go to help local charities. Thank you to the women for all of their hard work and hospitality to all who came through the doors. Looking ahead, can you lend a bed? Host families are needed for the students of the Lenoir-Rhyne College Choir who will be here to put on a concert at the church on March 16th. The students will be given dinner here at the church, they just need a place to sleep. We need host families for 40 students! So if you can help out, reply to this email. May God's grace and peace and forgiveness be yours this week, +Pastor Shelly Satran |

 This coming Sunday we conclude the time after Epiphany by celebrating the Transfiguration of our Lord, when Jesus went up a mountain and showed himself to be divine. Then next Wednesday we observe Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, as Jesus walks up another mountain and shows himself to be human. Come to worship, to praise this Jesus Christ, to hear him speak, to look at him in Icons and to partake of his body. |
