Living the Word Sunday School:  Living the Word Sunday School

Today the children will learn about the unveiling of the glory of Christ in the transfiguration and connect it with His glory being unveiled for us when His Word is preached, in the water of Baptism and in the bread and wine of His Holy Supper. Children in preschool to grade 5 meet in Sandrock Hall for the opening and then move to their classroom for the lesson where they may be picked up at 11:30.  The middle school youth will meet in their classroom on the second floor to discuss how in the face of God's awesome glory, Jesus grants us peace.  The High School youth will meet in meet in their room to prepare the pajamas and blankets donated at St Paul for LSSM's Family Preservation Programs.

Please prayerfully consider joining.  For more information, contact Mary Mobley 885-0529.

Truly "Grand"

Special Invitation to All Grandparents

Becoming a grandparent is a layered experience. Our identity as mother or father takes on a new intensity of supporter, guide and helper. We move out of the lead and the center but we also "become grand."

Join us for a four-week online retreat during Lent to explore this stage of life that is humbling, awe-inspiring and grand. Facilitated by Dr. Kathie Amidei, church leader, wife, mother, and of course, grandmother.

Beginning March 23, this four week experience will involve email "reflection articles" sent each week on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. (Also posted in a private virtual group for retreat participants.) Each short article is followed by reflection questions for participants. Each reflection includes practical ideas for discovering all the gifts of being "Grand." Participants are then encouraged to share their own reflections in a private virtual group. (Instructions for joining the group are provided when you register.)

Cost is $29. Click here to register and for a free sample article from Kathie, introductory video, and more info.

Women's World Day of Prayer

Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church to Host

the Grosse Pointe/Harper Woods Annual

Women's World Day of Prayer

March 7th at 11:00 a.m.

World Day of Prayer is an international ecumenical movement of Christian women who come together to observe a common day of prayer and action each year on the first Friday of March. Each year, a different country serves as a "writer" for the worship service, interpreting the Bible in its own context and bringing to light issues of mission, justice, and peace that are important to them. The motto of the World Day of Prayer is "Informed Prayer and Prayerful Action". This year's theme is "Streams in the Desert", with Egypt being the focus country. Offerings collected during the service will be directed to non-profit organizations that deal with the issues identified by the writer country. All are invited to participate in this prayer service, followed by fellowship in the church gathering space.

Our Lady Queen of Peace Church is located on Harper Avenue at Bournemouth, 3 blocks east of Moross. See the World Day of Prayer website at http://www.wdp-usa.org

Next Gleaners Food Bank workday is Saturday, March 15 from 9am-12pm.  Share the joys of serving others by volunteering at the food bank.  Please sign-up so we can submit a head count for planning purposes.  Our goal is to have a group of 20 attend.  Sign-up poster is located in the narthex or contact Shelley Reisen at 882-8099 or treisen@comcast.net.  Meet at the church at 8:30 to carpool.  Please note that due to the nature of the work involved, Gleaners prefers age middle school to adult participating in this event.

• Thank you to all who donated prizes and volunteered at Gateshead for the Bingo Party.  Please continue to supply prizes throughout the year.  We plan on visiting Gateshead Senor Living Community on a regular basis.  A collection basket is in the Harms Fireside Room. 
• Mid week Lent suppers: There are still lots of opportunities to host a midweek Lent supper. The signup sheet is posted on the bulletin board by the entrance to the Harms Fireside Room.
• Susan Mills, our nursery attendant will no longer be with us as of March 1.  We thank her for her service.  We are looking to hire someone for about 2½ hours every Sunday morning in the nursery.  This job could be shared among three or four people so you wouldn't miss church every Sunday.  If you're interested or know someone who is, please contact Susan Kvale at 586.294.9086 or Sandy in the Church Office 313.881.6670

"n the month of March we lift up LSSM's Neighborhood House in prayer.  Neighborhood House is a community center in Saginaw that hosts an afterschool program for students that includes activities, homework help and a hot meal.  Families are welcome to come and eat as well and homebound in the area have a hot meal delivered by Neighborhood House volunteers or staff.    This agency is the focus of an upcoming Servant Project or local mission trip in July.  More information is provided below.   We ask that you pray for this Servant Project,  Neighborhood House's staff, clients and families they serve throughout the month. 

Lutheran Social Services of Michigan invites you and 30 other adults to make a difference at Neighborhood House in Saginaw. This ministry offers educational, recreational, religious ministry, and a meal for 80 children and their families per day. Each day will be packed with activity, fellowship, and spiritual journeys.

We will do upgrades to the building (bathroom, weight room, gym floor and others). A group will teach kids and adults during the week. Wednesday night will be a large community program. The estimated cost of the repairs for this project is $30,000. Your help is needed. Can you provide food, share your skills for the remodel, teach VBS , organize the Wednesday program, or assist with administration or  fundraising? The estimated cost per person is less than $200.00 per person. Housing, food, fellowship will be provided.

Do you want to be part of this first ever LSSM work project?

Call Carl Bloom @ (248) 656-6857 or cbloom73@gmail.com  or Pr. Phil Hemke @ (248) 219-9707 or phemk@lssm.org   Support gifts can be made to Sonia Bankston at sbank@lssm.org  Call us for an application form for the event ( 18 and older).
