Fifth Sunday of Lent

Hey Everyone,

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I hope everyone is doing well and in good spirits on this special day when we celebrate the patron saint of Ireland. I don’t know about you, but it’s hard for me to believe that we’re already approaching the Fifth Sunday of Lent for this year. It’s gone fast and the Easter season is just around the corner.

That said, there are still a few more weeks of this Lenten season. I trust that these holy days have been filled with reflection and preparation for many of you. Before we know it, the summer season will be upon us and we’ll be back in busyness of the ordinal season. Until then, we’ve got some important gatherings coming up, so please read through this update carefully.

Tomorrow night, Wednesday, March 18th, we’ll have our third Bible Study session on the Beatitudes. Join us in person in Darley Hall and online as we explore the second set of blessings from Matthew’s account of the Sermon on the Mount. The study starts at 5:00pm and lasts about 90 minutes. If you’ve missed the last two sessions you can find them on our YouTube Channel.

This coming Sunday, March 22nd, is the Fifth Sunday of Lent and we’ll gather together at our usual time (10:00am) for our Lord’s Day worship in the CPC sanctuary and online (links below). This Sunday we WILL be having fellowship, so plan on joining us for coffee and cookies as we return to our after service fellowship time.

Next Monday, March 23rd we will be having Games Up Here in Darley Hall. Join us for this incredible time of fellowship and tabletop games. All are welcome. No experience necessary.

Our Bible study next week, on Wednesday, March 25th is cancelled, because I’ll be out of town speaking for Youth Front at a continuing education event in Kansas City. I will, however, be back for our Palm Sunday service on Sunday, March 29th. Don’t forget that on that Sunday, we’ll join with the other churches in Lake City for a special community service held at the First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall.

Also, this coming Sunday, I’ll be posting a sign up sheet for our annual Sacred Meal of Remembrance, to be held on Maundy Thursday of Holy Week, April 2nd at 5:30pm. If you’d like to participate in this special gathering, please sign up on Sunday as space is limited and we’d like you all to have a chance to sign up for this liturgical meal before we make it available to the larger Lake City community.

That’s it for this week folks, here are your Zoom links for tomorrow night’s Bible Study and this Sunday’s order of worship:
