This Sunday – 21 February

Hi Everyone,
 
The theme for Lent this year is generosity and the gospel lesson this Sunday is Matthew 25:31-46.

This particular section is entitled “Judgment of the Nations” and is the final story Jesus tells before the unfolding of events that lead to his arrest, eventual death and triumphant resurrection. Through this passage, we will explore what generosity might look like for us today in how we treat people in need.

Prayerfully reflecting on faith-filled generosity,

Janet

ANNOUNCEMENTS

EVANGEL HALL

MHP serving Dinner on Sunday, March 6

Do you like to cook or bake?

We are serving salad, chili and dessert in about 2 weeks time for clients of Evangel Hall and would be delighted by your contributions. **Please read all ingredients when preparing the food as someone has a dangerous allergic reaction to mushrooms.

If you’d like to do something but don’t like to cook or bake, we need rolls, servers, and drivers too. So please sign up in Fellowship Hall or contact Marilyn or Sheila, the co-coordinators from the Mission & Outreach team.

Lastly, if transporting the chili is difficult, Marilyn can pick it up from you on Saturday, March 5th.

Please keep this outreach in your prayers.

Christian Education Team Update

The C.E. Team is excited to announce a new summer evening ministry for three consecutive Wednesdays nights for families. Details and dates are still being finalized but we will most likely meet the last three Wednesdays in July. In light of this, MHP will no longer host Vacation Bible School but we sincerely thank the many people who have supported this ministry over the years.

BOARD OF MANGERS – Since we are between custodians at the moment, we would appreciate any help YOU might be able to offer in terms of cleaning, shovelling and minor repairs.  Please contact Maria or Peter.

 

 

Lent in Pictures

To everyone who likes to take pictures, draw, paint, sketch, cut and paste, colour, etc., I invite you to send pictures about generosity to generosity@morningsidehighpark.com.

The theme this Lenten season is “generosity” and the hope is that we can post people’s understanding and interpretation of generosity through pictures on our webpage.

I look forward to your submissions!
