~ PRAYERS FOR THE SICK~ Please pray for the following members of our Parish:
STEWARDSHIP BULLETIN REFLECTIONS"No longer was there manna for the Israelites, who thatyear ate of the yield of the land of Canaan. " (Joshua5:12)Over the forty years that the Israelitesjourneyed throughthe desert, God provided them with manna to eat. As soonas they were able to enjoy the fruits of the Promised Landthe manna ceased.. Likewise, God's blessings to us maychange over the years but is important to trust that Godwill always provide us with all that we need.
40 DAYS FOR LIFE is the largest internationally coordi-nated pro-life mobilization in history, helping people inlocal communities end the injustice of abortion throughprayer, fasting and keeping a prayerful vigil outside an abor-tion facility. One of the many good results is the closing ofthe abortion clinic in Manassas! 40 DAYS FOR LIFE start-ed on Ash Wednesday and it will run through March 20.It is not too late to join this effort to save lives. The nearestabortion clinic is in Charlottesville across the street from theAlbemarle Baptist Church, where parking is allowed.
