A container in which to deposit your pennies will be located in the vestibule of the church. Let’s give our idle pennies a purpose and make every “red cent” count!

The Social Justice Committee will meet Monday, March 12 at 6:30 in the rectory meeting room. Please feel free to come and join our discussion.

Dear God,

As we journey through this blessed season of repentance, renewal and grace, help us to fast from pessimism and feast on optimism. To fast from criticism and feast on praise. To fast from self-pity and feast on joy. As we journey to the cross of Jesus Christ, may we fast from bitterness and feast on forgiveness. Fast from idle gossip and feast on purposeful silence. Fast from jealousy and feast on love.

During these forty days of Lent, may we fast from discouragement and feast on hope. May we fast from complaining and feast on appreciation. And may we fast from selfishness and feast on service.

Dear God, as we turn away from sin and believe in the Gospel, help us to fast from fear and feast on faith. To fast from anger and feast on patience. To fast from self-concern and feast on compassion.

And finally Lord, when these forty days are over, may we be devoid of discontent and full of gratitude for all that our fasting and feasting has done. Amen.
