This year, Forward Movement has published a new Lenten devotional book that recalls the vigorous beginning of Forward Movement in the 1930s, a time when our church needed the bracing challenge of discipleship. The Disciple’s Way: Daily Reflections for Lent lets us hear the rousing call from the original book as well as a range of excellent contemporary writers to challenge us to follow Jesus in stirring language. Check it out!

We hope you enjoy this short book throughout Lent.

It might just spark great conversations at coffee hour or with your family and friends! 

Amazon link to purchase the book.

St. Columba's community is excited about giving to the Martin Luther King food pantry. Each month we will be asking for specific needs where the shelves are deficient. Baskets will be in the back of the church as well as the parish hall for our contributions which will be delivered as the end of the month. If each of us will donate just one of these items we will share in the feeding of the 5,000.
