Journey through Lent with Lutheran Campus Ministry

February 22 begins the Christian season of Lent as we acknowledge our human frailty and need for repentance.  Lent is a 40 day period of preparation and remembrance of Christ's journey to the cross and his victory over death which we celebrate as Easter.  Traditionally, the season is observed by the disciplines of prayer, fasting, and acts of charity. 

Ash Wednesday Services:  Join us as we observe the beginning of the Lenten season with worship on February 22:

 

+ Midday:  11:00 a.m – 12:00 noon, Johnson Center, Room 239A, (beside the Campus Ministry office).  Led by Pastor Terry Hannon, Lutheran Campus Ministry.

 

+ Evening:  7:47 – 9:00 p.m., JC 336, Room F.  We'll observe Ash Wednesday at our 747 Creative Christian Worship.  Co-sponsored and led by United Campus Ministries and Lutheran Campus Ministry.

^"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me."   Psalm 51:10

In the name of Christ,
Pastor Terry Hannon

Worship + Study + Service Opportunities Abound!

Grace and peace to each of you in the name of Jesus, the Christ!

 

As of 12:00 noon on Wednesday, we still plan to hold 747 Creative Christian Worship this evening in Johnson Center Room C, on the 3^rd floor, beginning at 7:47.  Worship is co-sponsored by Lutheran Campus Ministry and United Campus Ministries of Northern Virginia (UCMNV).

 

Our colleagues with UCMNLV will hold their weekly Table Talk at St. George United Methodist Church beginning at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday evening.  Meet at 6:30 at Sandy Creek Circle if you need a ride from the GMU campus.

 

 

Plan ahead for these events:

 

Sunday, February 19 is the kickoff date for a new small group, God is Not One.  Based on the book by the same title by Stephen Prothero, this will be an opportunity to explore and contrast 8 of the world's religions.  Meet at 5:30 p.m. in the Campus Ministry Office – J.C. Room 239H.

 

Hypothermia Shelters:  Now in its 7^th season, FACETS has been implementing its hypothermia prevention and response program in conjunction with the Fairfax County government.  The emergency shelters for homeless persons are hosted each week by various faith communities in Fairfax County.  The following congregations have invited us specifically to participate in their programs over the next few weeks:

 

+ St. Mark's Lutheran, Springfield (Feb. 12-19)
+ Bethlehem Lutheran, Fairfax (Feb. 19-26)
+ Holy Trinity Lutheran, Falls Church (Feb. 26-March 4)

They almost always need more people to help (especially on weeknights)!  If you are interested in taking part, even if it is only for a few hours or one night (i.e. cooking and serving food, talking to people, playing games, and providing hospitality, etc.), let me know and I'll work to connect you with the coordinator at the hosting congregation, as well as arrange transportation if necessary.

 

 

May you know God's peace this week in your comings and goings.  Hope to see you soon!

 

In Christ,

Pastor Terry Hannon
