ONE BOOK ONE PARISH Outreach committee member Steven Williams has several favorite quotes from the book, including, “Sooner or later, we all discover that kindness is the only strength there is." Many groups within the church are reading "Tattoos on the Heart" by Gregory Boyle. If you aren't already reading it, we would like to invite you to do so and join the Coffee Hour Conversation on April 11 led by our Outreach Committee after worship. A Zoom link will be shared so all can be a part of the conversation.

SHEPHERD CIRCLE OUTREACH Our Shepherd Circles are focusing on brainstorming ways to GO during Lent. Here are just a few of the ideas: helping a school in the neighborhood of your circle by offering a food pantry or support for the school staff, baking cookies for front-line workers, offering to help technologically challenged parishioners sign up for a vaccine, offering rides to get their vaccines, or collecting food for Community First! Village. We would love hear how your circle is GOing this Lent. All parishioners are encouraged to GO by signing up to be a volunteer with Drive a Senior ATX. Look for emails from your Shepherd Circles for ways to connect with Drive A Senior clients in your neighborhood If you haven't joined a Shepherd Circle, then please contact Aimee Bostwick or fill out a request form here.

CHRISTMAS BENEVOLENCE AND GOING FOR LENT As we share these stories from Christmas Benevolence during the next few weeks, we hope that they may provide us with some ideas for how we can GO during Lent and make us smile with their warmth. Christmas Benevolence Story from Jamie Baker The gift was given to a family where the father lost his job due to COVID-19 in March to help pay for essential living expenses.  How can you GO during Lent?
