Palm Sunday
March 2013

 

Often times, to grasp the fullness of something significant, we have to look at both sides. This Sunday, we celebrate two sides: we begin with "Hosanna," and w go on to shout "Crucify him!"  

 

Come join us as we fit both truths into one service using Walt Wangerin's "Cry of the Congregation."

SHARE scholarships


Twenty-six high school students in San Vicente, El Salvador
continued their education in 2012 because of partners like ULC. 

 

"This scholarship has
helped me in so many
ways, not only with my
academic studies, but also
to develop as a person and
learn to be a leader."
 
- SHARE Scholarship Student Maritza Melendez Huezo 


Please return communion boxes!


Taking communion bread home to loved ones who can't make it to the Sunday eucharist is a great way of sharing in sacrament and community. 

We have small containers for this purpose. If you've taken communion home in one of our boxes, please return them to the Chapel so we can continue to reuse them?

We appreciate your help in this matter and look forward to sharing communion with everyone!

prayerPrayers this week

Help. Thanks. Wow. These are the essential prayers. As you pray these prayers each day, please also include these people and situations:

 

Pray ...

  • for the children in the world's refugee camps. More than half of the Syrians in Jordan's Za'atri camp are under the age of 18.  
  • for those experiencing strained or broken relationships, that reconciliation may be known and a new vitality replace the brokenness   
  • that those researching a cure for cancer find that cure so that all who now battle cancer might know a cure as well as healing  
  • for healing for those recovering from surgery; for those living with chronic pain; for those dealing with mental health issues, that all may know wholeness of mind, body, and spirit  

Lift up the many people still suffering from the effects of the economic collapse. May the love of God and the kindness and concern of others help them find joy and stability in their lives. 

 

Hold world church leaders in prayer, especially Bishop Mark Hanson and the people and work of the ELCA in the world and Pope Francis and our Roman Catholic sisters and brothers as a new era opens for the Roman Catholic church
