As our Lenten journey continues, come--all are welcome-- and worship with us on Tuesdays at 11:30am (Johnson 243) or Wednesdays, 747 in Johnson B. For God so loved the world and everything and everyone in it--each and every one of us with all our faults, doubts and even our warts. God sent Jesus because of that love. Reread John 3:15 again and again.

Lenten Worship opportunities + MORE!!

This Sunday's Gospel is John 3:16  "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not persih but may have eternal life."  What can be greater than God's amazing love for the whole world and all who are in it!

Attention ALL students, faculty, staff, and others:  You have TWO opportunities to join us for worship this week as we continue our Lenten journey together!  See below for details!

SPRING BREAK SERVICE TRIP in Baltimore: March 11-13, we'll head to Baltimore again for a weekend helping out at Helping Up Mission -- an absolutely amazing recovery community which is incredibly successful at helping people break addictions and become healthy, educated, responsible, and employed -- and also provides food, hot showers, clean clothes, and overnight shelter for people living on the streets.  We'll have the opportunity to meet people whose lives have been saved by this mission, and to serve alongside them in helping to keep their community running!  It is one of the most rewarding places that I've ever volunteered -- and I highly recommend joining us for this rewarding experience!  (Co-sponsored with United College Ministries).  We went there last year, and here is what one student said:

"Helping Up Mission was really, truly wonderful. The people working there and the men going through the program are friendly and enthusiastic and very happy. A lot of the men working there had gone through the program themselves and decided to stay as staff members. I can't tell you how inspiring it was to be there...."

 

YOUR IDEAS:  Please let us know if you have ideas for service projects that you'd like to take part in (or plan), social events for drawing our community together, Bible study topics you'd like to learn more about, etc.
