Fourth Sunday in Lent
|
March 2012
|
|
|
|
|
This Sunday is the Commemoration of Commemoration of St. Patrick (c. 390-461), bishop, missionary to Ireland
The readings include what is perhaps the Bible's most famous sentence-John 3:16-as well as the ancient and odd story about faith-healing from snake bite. Come to see how John uses the Old Testament story to proclaim Christ.

Prayer List
During the week, we invite your prayers for those in need in our community and around the world, including:
For Don as he prepares for surgery
For David, baby Annabelle, Joyce, Duane, and Bishop Mark as they recover from surgery
For Lent and all it invites us to consider in our life of faith
For Chapel children and their families
For Nico, Jonatan, Remey, and Lucas as they continue to walk across California for a change in our immigration laws
For all who are looking for work
For all who are in transition or discernment
For those celebrating birthdays and anniversaries
Think about starting a new habit of prayer with your family this week -- around the table before a meal, before bedtime, in the morning as you prepare to depart for a busy day.
