Thought to Ponder

Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.  Hebrews 13:20-21

We continue to gather as a combined parish on a weekly basis on Wednesday’s to journey with Jesus to the cross. The place of each gathering is as follows:  March 6^th at Britton, March 13^th at Hecla, March 20^th at Claremont. The gatherings on Wednesday will begin at 6:30pm with the meditation/gathering first and then we will share in a light meal for a time of fellowship.

The Mission Team and children of Britton UMC will be focusing on supporting the Solar Oven Project for Haiti. The children will gather an offering of loose change each Sunday during Lent. The goal is to collect enough to buy solar ovens , the cooking equipment and cookbook. A solar oven will be set up in the entryway so you can see what you are supporting. Thank you in advance for supporting this vital mission project for the people of Haiti.

The Britton-Hecla youth group will be going to package meals at Kids Against Hunger in March.  The youth will be working at raising a donation of approximately $600 or more to cover the cost of the food that will be packaged. The youth will be serving the Lenten supper on March 6^th in Britton. A free will offering will be accepted to help support this vital mission of feeding those in need in our country and around the world. Thank you in advance for your support of this vital mission project.
