The fifth Sunday in Lent: March 21, 2010 9:30 AM Worship & Sunday School
From Tears to Joy"We may sow our tears in many places, grieving that our families,
our communities, our nation, and the world are not as we would
like them to be. We see brokenness all around, frightening times
ahead. But when we water the earth with our tears, we can expect to harvest
joy in the next season. A new thing will be upon us. Rivers will
spring up in barren places and refresh the earth. Perhaps the
rivers appear when enough of us have been moved by the earth's
pain to weep, to add our ounce of compassion to what may become
a mighty torrent of loving hope." - Joyce HollydaySee the Scriptures  See the schedule HERE for our Tuesday Night Ecumenical Soup Suppers and Learning in Lent Theme: "The Name you Claim" Join with friends from other churches for Soup at 6:30 PM, and Learning at 7 PM.

The New Abolitionist Movement
There are an estimated 27 million slaves in the world today. Real slaves. Unable to walk away from their captors. Subjected to violence. Denied basic human rights. These slaves are not just statistics - they are someone’s sister, someone’s mother, father, brother. Flesh and blood. God’s creation, made in the image of God. Find out more.
Global Advocacy Days from David Hepburn on Vimeo. Lenten Call: A Dollar a Day for HaitiJames Seawood, president of the RCA General Synod, is working with the Dominican Reformed Church (IRD) to help distribute food supplies to Haitians in desperate need. The IRD is currently helping provide food for 18 pastors representing 16 Haitian churches and 3,000 members. Seawood, whose January trip to the Dominican Republic and Haiti placed him in Port-au-Prince during the earthquake, felt compelled to return and help. "God placed us in Haiti in the middle of the earthquake and spared our lives. Why? Only God knows. Now we must respond to the urgent appeals for help from people who are desperate. Haiti is in trouble!" He urges RCA members to consider giving $1 per day for each of the
forty days of Lent to immediate and long-term relief efforts in Haiti
in addition to offering prayers for the country and its people.
