Jesus Visits Martha and Mary

Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary, who sat at Jesus’s feet and listened to what he was saying. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, so she came to him and asked, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her, then, to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things, but few things are needed—indeed only one. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her.”

Youth This Week

This Wednesday, March 12, our high school youth will meet at 6:45am at Dunkin Donuts for Breakfast & Beliefs. Our high school and middle school youth will begin preparations next Sunday the 16th at 5pm for our upcoming youth service.

Lenten Discussion

During Lent, in place of the Pastor’s Midweek Refresh, we will discuss our theme of Everything [in] Between. Using the stories of Luke, we will find God in the midst of extremes. A Lenten devotional booklet that follows our theme is available upon request. Please contact 

kim@hickoryfpc.org for a copy.

Meditation Groups

We have two meditation groups that began on Thursday. Rob Evans will facilitate the Morning Silence group the first and third Thursdays of the month at 10am, and Katheryn Harlan and Todd Courtney will facilitate the Beyond Belief group every Thursday at 6pm. Both groups will meet in the Session room.

Parent Book Study for Lent

A parent book study on The Emotional Lives of Teenagers will be offered on Monday nights at 6pm and Thursday mornings at 9am. Please contact virginia@hickoryfpc.org with questions.
