FATHER MARK’S ANNOUNCEMENTS

1. Compline -- I am so sorry that one of the links I sent didn’t connect to our zoom Compline last Sunday, and that some of you were not able to join us. This is the working link for this Sunday March 13 at 8:00 PM.     https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85057047841?pwd=YTZ6Q1FEMnhmeHRiTGZPb3RwaUZCdz09    Meeting ID: 850 5704 7841    Passcode: 057081 
2. THANKS to four delicious cooks and hosts, we enjoyed a delicious heart-body-soul warming evening last night, beginning with four different amazing soups (and some special homemade fried bread) followed by a short Stations of the Cross service in the church. I know the weather was dicey, but those who braved it had a great time. I hope you will join us next Wednesday at 5:30 for another round. 
3. Anyone interested in being Confirmed or Received at the Bishop’s Visitation March 27th should plan to meet with me in the library between services 9:00-9:45 A.M. this Sunday for some Q&A.

The United Thank Offering 

The last two years our lives have been disrupted.  Although we have been able to gather together to worship again, we have missed being greeted with a smile due to face coverings.  We continue to count our Blessings and worship with FAITH.  While so many disruptions are happening around the world, take time to reflect on what you are grateful for each day.  Consider the Blessings flowing from the little UTO box.  
"Goodness is stronger than evil;
Love is stronger than hate;
Light is stronger than darkness;
Life is stronger than death;
Victory is ours through Him who loves us."
~Desmond Tutu, South Africa
