“The Way of the Cross”
How easy it would be to stay on the path if Jesus had only called his dis-
ciples to the way of self-indulgence! Our own desires would be happy with
self-indulgence. Most of the advertising we see encourages us to walk that
way too. Eat what will taste good! Buy the clothes that will make you look
and feel good, etc. Jesus, however, walked the way of the cross, the way of
self denial. He calls his disciples to follow in his wake. After teaching the dis-
ciples that he must suffer, be rejected by the Jewish leaders, be killed, and
rise on the third day, he tells them,
If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their
cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose
their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it. For what will it profit
them to gain the whole world and forfeit their life?”
Mark 8:34b-36, NRSV
This year, the entire month of March falls within the forty days of Lent.
Just as Jesus set himself to go to Jerusalem to die upon the cross, during
Lent, many Christians focus on repentance and self-denial to prepare for the
events of Holy Week and Easter Sunday. We have an opportunity to step
away from the way of the world and its desires this month, and to focus up-
on Jesus and his suffering instead. In what ways will we deny ourselves?
What will it look like for us to take up our cross and follow him? We do not
practice self-denial for its own sake. Rather, we engage in it so that we may
better serve our Lord. As Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 5:15, “And he died for
all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them
and was raised again. “ (NIV)
Peace in Christ,
Pastor Jason

Dear Christ United Methodist Church,
As we are going into Lent I am
super excited. As our youth ministry
continues to grow, we are also
starting the beginning stages for
renovations to our youth space. We
have a great group of individuals who
are dreaming and planning to make a
great worship and meeting space for
our youth. It's just more signs of the
fruit of God's Kingdom here in
our community.
When I think of fruit in the light of
Lent though, I think of what truly
yields the best fruit. It's not just plants
that grow, but it's also plants that are
pruned. Jesus said, "I am the vine;
you are the branches." Vineyards
don't just continuously grow and
produce superior fruit. Without being
pruned in between harvests,
vineyards and plants run the risk
of growing wildly in a way that
they produce a lower quality
harvest that next season. We
are celebrating the harvest we
have had so far, but also asking
not to be left out of being pruned
by God either.

EASTER CANTATA
SUNDAY MARCH 29TH

SANCTUARY
Come and join the combined
choirs of Ironville UMC and
Christ UMC as we present the
Easter Cantata “Is He Worthy”
on March 29th at 10:45am.
Easter is a season of
remembrance, reflection, and
rejoicing. We ponder the
sacrifice of Jesus on the cross,
we praise God for the miracle of
the resurrection, and we
prepare our hearts for his
promised return.
With a blend of traditional hymns, classic and contemporary
songs, and a special moment retelling the crucifixion story called
“Journey to the Cross”, the choir will boldly proclaim Jesus is
worthy of all blessing, honor, and glory.
Hope to see you on March 29th at 10:45am

After months of meetings, various quotes from vendors
and prayerful consideration, the Governing Board is excited to
announce the approval of two new projects at Christ Church.
The time has arrived for our sanctuary to receive a
needed replacement to our outdated sound system.
Partnering with StageMasters, all ministries within the church
will benefit from the changes to the sound board, speakers,
microphones, instrument hookups and more. We pray that this
excites and encourages you to partner with us prayerfully and
financially to complete this long overdue need.
We are also excited to announce that a decision has
been made to pursue building a new parsonage on our
property closest to Yorkana. After months and countless hours
of pursuing bids on renovations to our existing parsonage, it is
obvious that building a new parsonage on our land for our
current and future pastoral family is the best solution. Stay
tuned for additional info to come in the near future as the
Parsonage Committee and Governing Board continue to
complete details regarding this project.
Funding plans and strategies were also discussed and
approved for both. Endowment fund monies from
memorials, general checking and the Sandy Smith Music Fund
were approved to be used for the Sanctuary Sound Upgrade.
The Parsonage Build project will be using funds from the
Capital Improvement Reserve Fund, the Parsonage Fund and
a bank loan. Through your past generous giving, funds exist
today that allow us to execute these projects and we
encourage all to partner with us in prayer as we embark into a
deeper relationship of faith and trust. We also challenge those
that may feel the call to provide additional financial support to
these projects. May each of you get to experience God in a
powerful way during these exciting times at Christ Church.
Please do not hesitate to contact Pastor Jason, myself
or another Governing Board member if you wish to discuss
further.
