Blustery, almost-Spring greetings!

Sunday we conclude our five week series on sin.  Please be in prayer and
come prepared to worship as we gather.  Here are the readings for the day:
*	1 Cor. 6:9-11
*	John 8:1-11

Due to Spring Break, please note that there will not be supper or kids
classes next Wednesday, but Lenten Worship will continue as usual at 7 pm.

Like to work around outside?  Please take note of the two upcoming
Beautification Days:  Saturday, March 27th and April 3rd.  A light lunch
will even be made available to all volunteers!

Doing Spring Cleaning these days?  Have clothes to discard that could be
used by others?  Please see the info below my sign-off to find out what to
do with clothes you'd like to donate for the helping of others.

Ladies:  there'll be a gathering next Tuesday (7:00 pm) at which you can
find out about Lutheran Women in Missions.

Easter's-a-comin' and there's room in the Alleluia Choir for you.
Rehearsals are Sunday evenings at 6:30 pm.

Still got a PRC Bottle you've been meaning to bring in?  Please do so
Sunday...Thanks!

Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day, a remembrance of a great man of God &
missionary to the Celtic lands.  Here's part of a famous "prayer" of his
(Called the "Breastplate Prayer of St. Francis") that I've always liked:

"Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me.
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me.
Christ on my right, Christ on my left.
Christ where I lie, Christ where I sit, Christ where I arise.
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me.
Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me.
Christ in every eye that sees me.
Christ in every ear that hears me."

Yours in Christ,
Pastor Mark
