Women’s Bible Study
Please join our Lenten Bible study starting March 5 each Wednesday at 10:00.
We will be studying and discussing
“The Final Days” by Matt Rawle.
This Lent, ponder the themes of justice, poverty, freedom, and love.
The four New Testament Gospels aren’t the same story, but they offer the same Resurrection hope. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John devote most of their story detailing Jesus’ last week in Jerusalem, all highlighting Jesus’ triumphant entry into the city, the suffering and humiliation of the cross, and the empty tomb come Sunday morning, but the stories they tell aren’t quite the same.
Each Gospel offers a different lens through which we understand Jesus’ Passion. One portrait reveals Jesus to be in control, while another emphasizes his suffering. In one story Jesus offers hope to the thief on the cross, and in another Jesus only receives derision. These different perspectives aren’t a reason to dismiss the Gospels; rather they reveal an abundant, diverse, and complementary picture of God’s work in the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
Please see Linda Wolfe or Lisa Bowser with any questions. We’d love to have you. All are welcome!

“We Stand in Solidarity”
As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are called to stand with our immigrant siblings in love and solidarity. Bishop Cynthia Moore-Koikoi has shared a video message on this biblical mandate, which we encourage you to watch and, if appropriate, share in your congregations.

Our Mission of the Month for March is:
UMCOR Flood Buckets!
After a storm strikes, you may be looking for a way to support those affected. The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) assists victims of disasters all over the world. UMCOR collects cleaning kits for distribution within the United States. These supplies enable people to begin the overwhelming job of cleaning up after a flood or hurricane.
The instructions for the supplies needed to fill the cleaning kit buckets are very detailed. Starting this week, you will see a clothesline hanging in the narthex. On this clothesline will be index cards with a specific item listed. We ask that you take an index card (or 2 or 3), purchase the item and bring it back to church. The United Women in Faith group is donating the empty buckets. We will assemble the buckets after Worship on April 6 with our Youth.
Of course, monetary donations are accepted. Please make checks payable to MUMC and put flood buckets in the memo line.
