Lenten Study: Radical Renovation: Living the
Cross-Shaped Life Sundays, Feb. 21 - Mar. 20
10:15 - 11:10 am | Room 18 Led by Rev. Lyn Frazier
Radical Renovation is a powerful image of
what can happen in our lives during the
season of Lent. Just as a house can be rebuilt
after it has fallen into disrepair or devastation,
says the author James A. Harnish, so God can
enter in to our brokenness and help us
completely rebuild our lives so that we can
become the kind of people in whom the
living Christ can take up residence, and
through whom the loving purpose of God
can become a tangible reality in this world.

Galatians & Ephesians Sundays, 10:15 - 11:10 am | Room 36
Led by Carolyn Landis
Take an in-depth look at these two letters of
Paul as we discover our freedom in Christ and
what it means to be part of the church or “the
body of Christ.”

Sr. High Roll Bake It’s time for the first Roll Bake of 2016, and the last
one until fall. All proceeds for Roll Bakes go to
support the Sr. High United Methodist Youth
Fellowship and our Spring Break Mission Trip.
Both types of rolls can be donated to Hidden Harvest – a food rescue
and distribution agency here in the Great Lakes Bay Region! So, if you
would like to support the youth, but would rather not have the rolls
yourselves, consider donating them to Hidden Harvest. The Sr. High
youth will receive the proceeds, while Hidden Harvest and those they
help are given fresh rolls. (All donations of rolls to Hidden Harvest must
be prepaid.)
The cost is $3.50 for plain, and $4.00 for cinnamon.
You can place your order or donation of rolls to Hidden Harvest by:
• Contacting your favorite Sr. High youth.
• Filling out a yellow pew card (for personal orders) and putting it in
the offering plate or dropping it off in the office with Attn: John
Engler. • Filling out a white pew envelope (for donation of rolls to Hidden
Harvest) and putting it in the offering plate or dropping them off in
the church office.
• Calling the Church Office, 835.6797.
Order deadline is Sunday, February 28. As always, we appreciate your
support of our youth and our Sr. High UMYF.
COLLECTING…
2016 picture calendars are being
collected for Pinerest Christian Mental Health
Services. The calendars are used as Bingo prizes
for patients and are quite popular. Please place

hallway.
Thank you! Peg Born, [email protected].

GREETINGS & SHARING OF ANNOUNCEMENTS
Preparation for Worship is a signal to end our conversations and prepare our hearts for worship.
PRELUDE “I Want Jesus to Walk with Me” B. Trinkley Wesley Men - Grace Marra, director
*CONGREGATIONAL INTROIT “Surely the Presence of the Lord” #328
*CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: We follow Christ, People: who says take up your cross.
Leader: We follow Christ, People: who bids us come and offer our lives. Leader: We follow Christ, People: who summons us to new life.
All: Come, let us worship our Creator.
*OPENING HYMN “Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross” #301
UNISON PRAYER
Gracious and patient God, there are so many things that block our
path to the Cross. Our inability to believe; our greed and selfishness; our
desire to hide rather than to open our hearts to you. We don’t like to think
that we hide, but we do. We remember with amazement how you
suffered for us when you carried the cross. Yet when we were called to
carry that cross with you, we resisted doing so. Help us to know that
when we carry your cross we bear the burdens of others, and we bear
the sin of those around us. Through our sacrifice, others will see that you
died for them and that you love them. Give us the humility and the
strength to walk with you in this Lenten season bearing the burdens you
bore and loving as you loved. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
ANTHEM “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross” arr. G. Martin Chancel Choir - Grace Marra, director
PASTORAL PRAYER/THE LORD’S PRAYER/RESPONSE
“Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our
daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who
trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.”
