TUESDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY
Lenten Bible Study
April 5 9:45 – 10:50 am
You are invited to join in this 6-week study of the
Gospel of Luke, the primary Gospel used in Sunday worship this liturgical year. Through Jesus’ actions and parables in Luke, we see Jesus’ concern with those who were the marginalized, ignored, and forgotten. We are reminded that as followers of Jesus, we, too, are called to care about and advocate for the least, the last, and the loss of our time.
Please contact the church office if you want to participate in the
study; a $15.00 donation toward the cost of the book
is welcomed.
If you are not able to join the study group on Tuesday
mornings, you are welcome to read the book on
your own. There will also be available a 40-day
reading guide for the Gospel of Luke during the season
of Lent.

Family Promise
We are looking forward to our next Family Promise week (April 27- May 3). We will again be splitting the week with each church serving two nights and all three gathering for a joint meal. Our members have been generous with their time and with food and donations. Please keep those dates in mind and let me know if you'd like to join in this mission. I'm always happy to answer questions or listen to suggestions.
Love cannot remain by itself—it has no meaning. Love has to be put into action and that action is service.

Rise Against Hunger works in countries worldwide to fight hunger, targeting communities facing high rates of food insecurity. We provide volunteer-packaged meals and other assistance, often through school feeding programs, to support nutrition, education and health for children and families facing hunger right now. We also partner with local leaders to implement sustainable agriculture and income-generating projects that support long-term solutions to food security and empower communities to become self-reliant and thrive.

Pinwheels for Child Abuse Prevention
April is Child Abuse Prevention month.
Pinwheels for Prevention began as a grassroots
campaign in Georgia, Florida and Ohio. Their
success and a desire to create a national
symbol for child abuse and neglect prevention
led to this effort nationwide.
In 2015, Prevent Child Abuse Delaware, along
with state chapters throughout the country,
adopted a new logo – the pinwheel. A
pinwheel represents the whimsical notion of
childhood and reminds us that every child
deserves the chance at having a healthy and
happy childhood.
Keep an eye out for pinwheels throughout
Delaware! We ordered pinwheels to display at
church and for church members to take home.
They are available in the Narthex. Help us
spread the message about the power of
prevention through the visual recognition of
pinwheels throughout the community.
Remember…a pinwheel also needs wind to
move forward, and with our actions and our
intention, we can be that wind.
