CAFÉ LENTEN STUDY BEGINS
MARCH 4
We are all looking forward to Spring, especially
after this cold and snowy winter. So too should we
be yearning to celebrate the glorious feast of our
Lord's Resurrection at Easter.
In order to prepare more fully for our Church's
holiest of days, we invite you to join us on
Tuesday evenings for a faith-sharing Lenten
Study.
We will meet weekly from 7:00-8:00pm in the
Schneider Parish Center, beginning March 4, and
concluding April 8. At these meetings we
will read and discuss the Scripture passages for the
upcoming Sunday Litugy.
The study book suggests ways to grow closer to
Jesus during the week, and those who are comfort-
able doing so can share their progress on these ef-
forts at the next meeting.
Due to the enthusiastic response to these studies in
the past, we are planning to meet in two of the
classrooms on the lower level of the SPC.
If you would like to join us, please send a message
to [email protected] or call Sue Brown
at 610-857-2026 by Tuesday, 2/25. The cost of the
class is only $10. and includes a daily devotional
book in addition to the study book.
LENTEN REFLECTIONS
Change your heart
Instead of “giving up” a food item, consider giving up spiritual
“junk food”-gossip, self-righteous anger, or
sarcasm.
Give up time-wasters such as surfing the net, shopping, or
reality TV. Give up unhealthy habits that keep you
from becoming closer to Christ.
Look for opportunities to share the story of your faith journey,
how God has made a difference in your life.
Identify your God-given gifts, how you use them, and how you
could use them better.
Say “ I love you” often to those closest to you.
Seek reconciliation with estranged family and friends.
“Prayer and fasting are good, but better than ei-
ther is almsgiving accompanied by righteous-
ness ... It is better to give alms than to store up
gold; for almsgiving saves one from death and
expiates every sin. Those who regularly give alms
shall enjoy a full life" (Tobit 12:8-9).
ALMSGIVING: In the past we have always
provided opportunities for almsgiving during Lent
by taking a Second Collection for Operation Rice
Bowl through which we have funded programs that
fed the hungry and provided for other human needs
of the poor. Since we have sworn off Second Col-
lections this year, we will be providing 5% of our
Offertory collection during Lent to fund these pro-
grams. Therefore, you are encouraged to increase
your Lenten Offertory by 5% as well to allow us to
fulfill this Gospel mandate to give alms, “through
which there is forgiveness of sin”.
