Dear Church Family,
               It has been almost a year since we have gathered for a Bible study.  Lent, which is soon upon us, might be a good time to engage again.  I’m thinking of leading a three or four week  study on Tuesday or Thursday afternoons in Miner Hall.  I’d love to get your feedback in person or by e-mail about that idea.  I’d like to know as well topics or books of the Bible you’d be interested in exploring.
               While we’re soliciting input, this might be a good time as well to ask for hymn ideas.  I generally try to pick hymns that match the service theme.  But are there favorites we haven’t sung  for a while?  Give me a list and over time I’ll try to incorporate them. 
               We continue to focus on the lectionary readings from Luke.  The texts this week are Genesis 45:3-11,15 and Luke 6:27-38.  The sermon is a quote from the text: “If you love only those who love you, what credit is that to you.”
               See you in church.
Peace and Joy,
Rich
