Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily

against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever and ever.
Amen.

“Draw the Circle Wide”
Refrain:
Draw the circle wide, Draw it wider still. Let this be our song,
no one stands alone, standing side by side, draw the circle wide.
God the still-point of the circle, ’round whom all creation turns;
nothing lost, but held forever, in God’s gracious arms. Refrain
Let our hearts touch far horizons, so encompass great and small;
let our loving know no borders, faithful to God’s call. Refrain
Let the dreams we dream be larger, than we’ve ever dreamed before;
let the dream of Christ be in us, open every door. Refrain

One of the young people of our pastoral charge, Sydney Pow, is currently studying
in the United States on a Volleyball scholarship at Houghton College. Sydney has
the opportunity to travel with her Volleyball team on a mission trip to Nicaragua in
June of 2015. While there they will offer Volleyball clinics, the cost to each student
is $2275.00 and they are encouraged to raise the necessary funds themselves. If
you would like to assist Sydney in this very worthy endeavor there is information
located at the back of the church.
LENTEN BREAKFASTS
Lenten season and the journey to Easter will begin
