Dear Hodges family,
There is SOOOOOOOO much going on at Hodges! Please don’t miss a thing!
TONIGHT @ 6:30
is our Ash Wednesday service,
with the imposition of ashes
SUNDAY, 3/10,
is the first Sunday of Lent AND
Daylight Savings Time begins
(so please turn your clocks FORWARD…otherwise you’ll be late!!)
SUNDAY, 3/17,
there will be a Lenten musical service, “Journey to the Cross”
There are other activities and services coming up, as well, all of which are on the Calendar of Events insert in your bulletin and on the website under the tab “Announcements.”
Next week I will be on study leave trying to get smarter, but I’ll be back in time for the Lenten musical service. This service is similar in nature to a Service of Lessons and Carols that oftentimes takes place during the Advent/Christmas season, but, obviously, this one will be focused on Lent/Easter and the journey to the cross. Can you imagine how beautiful it’s going to be? I’ve not ever experienced this kind of service during Lent, and I expect it will be very meaningful and helpful as we contemplate, meditate, reflect, and repent in this season.
I hope to see you all tonight!
Blessings,

2019 Lenten Devotionals
Available for pick-up in
the church office.
|
|
Cultivate (verb): to prepare and use for the raising of crops; to foster the growth of; to improve by labor, care, or study; to refine; to further; to encourage.
Lent is a season of spiritual gardening, of inviting God to unearth in us what lies fallow, what needs to be tended, and what needs to die for new life to emerge. This year, our lectionary offers us images and stories with themes of earthiness and grit.
Each of you will be receiving a special devotional so you can intentionally think and pray about what you would like to cultivate or let go in your lives. Stop by the office and see what we are cultivating and letting go.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Presbyterian Women would like to thank the entire church family and local community for the wonderful participation which helped make Mardi Gras Madness a tremendous success! Members purchased tickets and merchants, members and others donated money, gift cards and items for the Silent Auction.
We would also like to thank the youth who did a fantastic job as servers, and Phil Wright, the Master of Ceremonies.
Thank you to those many other Volunteers behind the scenes who worked very hard to make this event happen. We collected in excess of $5,000, and after expenses we expect to have a tidy sum to be able to donate to worthy causes."

There’s a way that beckons you into more time, more meaning, more authentic relationships. There’s a way, especially when things aren’t shaping up quite like you imagined, that makes life take the shape of more—more abundance, more intimacy, more God.

Bibles and Bagels
Wednesdays,
7:00-8:00 a.m.
Bagels and Bibles, the early Wednesday morning men’s Bbile study group, is starting a new 12-week study of Proverbs starting March 13. Proverbs is an ancient book of very practical wisdom on how to live life and how to relate to one another. Through study and discussion participants are sure to become more skilled in their ability to live a godly life. The wisdom presented in Proverbs is timeless. This study will run through the end of May.
Join us for bagels, coffee, some energizing discussions, and Christian fellowship in the Fellowship Hall. We will have you out and on your way by 8:00 a.m. You are sure to be blessed!

THIS Sunday, March 10:
This is the first Sunday of Lent, so we will spend some time in Sunday School discussing the ways that we can LET GO and CULTIVATE during this season. Also, even though it is Spring Break week, we will still be meeting for the Mystery Dinner rehearsal. If you are out of town, don’t stress about missing the rehearsal, but if you are here, please join us from 6:00-7:30 p.m.
- Mystery Dinner Reminders:
- Tickets will go on sale March 17! Tell your friends, grandparents, etc. soon because tickets WILL sell out! ($30 for adults, $20 for children under 10)
- For Mystery Dinner performers, remember that this week, you should be working on memorizing Scenes I, II, and III, and collecting your personal props to have ready at the next practice on Sunday, March 10.
- Camp Montgomery Climb Day All youth and their friends are invited to join us on March 24 for a climbing adventure at Camp Montgomery. We will leave right after Sunday School, stop for lunch on the way, and be home around 5:00 pm. You will need to bring $10 for climbing and another $10 for lunch on the way up. Also, don’t forget to wear close-toed shoes. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to Kim Ross no later than Thursday, March 21. Parents will also need to fill out a release form for their climbers. Click here for form.
- Eat BEFORE Youth Group: We have noticed in the past few months that most youth are not eating the dinners at youth group, so with the exception of Home Group nights or special outings, we won’t be serving them anymore. BUT, we will still be taking that first chunk of time at youth group to just hang out with each other, so if you have a Sunday where you want to eat dinner, just pick up something on your way in and feel free to eat during our free time.
