Thoughts to Ponder

Have you ever done the very thing God told you to do and then ended up in what seemed like a worse situation?

The Apostle Paul experienced this on several occasions, but what kept him going was his trust in God’s character. Paul trusted that God was in control   And that means Paul took steps of faith based on his belief in God and not according to the circumstances he was in or what Pete Wilson might say,

Paul placed his faith in God’s identity, not in his ability to see God’s activity.)     Rev. Jon Walker, Saddleback Church

Claremont: Once again we will be having a light supper after the Lenten service. Volunteers are still needed for 2-3 of the Wednesday’s of Lent.  A sign up sheet is available on the entry table in the narthex. Thank you in advance for volunteering for this ministry of fellowship.

The Youth Group of Hecla UMC & St. John’s Lutheran will be hosting a Baked Potato Supper on Sunday, March 13^th. All proceeds will go to help fund the mission trips that are planned for this summer and next summer. Serving times are from 5-7PM and the cost is a free will offering.

Hecla: Plans are in the process for painting the outside of the church. Donations are being requested to help pay for the paint and supplies that will be needed for the project. Please prayerfully consider how you can help with this project. Dates and times will be posted once they are determined.

Lent begins this week with Ash Wednesday services.  The service at Claremont will be at 6PM followed by a light supper. The service at Hecla will be at the UMC preceded by a soup supper from 6:30-7:15PM and the service at 7:30PM. Plan on attending one of these services and begin the journey of lent in fellowship with one another.
