40 CANS FOR 40 DAYS FOOD DRIVE

March 5—April 18

During the season of Lent, we commemorate both the Israelite's 40 years and Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness as we prepare for the coming of Resurrection Sunday. Traditionally, people observe this time of preparation by fasting or abstaining from certain activities, foods, or habits.

We would like to invite you to partner with us in one of AHUMC's Lenten practices. As you go through 40 days of preparation, we’d hope you will join us in prayer for the Hope Center. We also ask that you will consider donating a can of food for each of the 40 days of Lent.

LENTEN HEALING SERVICE

March 25, 2025

The root of the word "healing" in New Testament Greek, sozo, is the same as that of salvation and wholeness. We are offered balance, harmony, and wholeness of body, mind, spirit, and relationships through confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation.

Healing is not magic, but underlying it is the great mystery of God's love. God does not promise that we shall be spared suffering but does promise to be with us in our suffering. All are invited to trust in that promise as we gather to recognize God's sustaining presence in pain, sickness, injury, and estrangement.

EASTER FLOWERS

Order until April 6

Each year we adorn the Sanctuary and the Christian Life Center (CLC) with Easter flowers. Plants and flowers in our worship spaces are not included in the yearly budget, so we rely on your generosity to provide them.

Flowers can be given in memory or in honor of a beloved family member or friend. Envelopes for giving will be available at the reception desk, at the entrances of the Sanctuary and the CLC, and in the pews of the Sanctuary.

Completed envelopes can be put in the offering plates on Sunday, or left with the receptionist during the week, or mailed to Leah Jayne at the church.
