That Christ Be King in Our Lives and in the Lives of Others
Week of February 22-28, 2015
“Sing to the LORD; praise the LORD! For he has delivered the life of the needy from
the hand of evildoers.” Jeremiah 20:13 Encounter With God Memory Verse for the Week

Rector’s Message
Today
Columbia Baptist Chapel
8 am · Eucharist Rite 1
I am pondering if there could possibly have been any
meaning in the fact that on the day before Lent began, I lost my cell phone! Yes, I truly lost it – I think it
must be in a snow bank somewhere. Years ago when I
saw my very first “portable” phone connected to
some guy’s briefcase as he walked down K Street, I
couldn’t imagine I’d ever own such a thing, and yet
today life without one for even 24 hours is a genuine
hardship for almost any of us. Is there some connection between Lent – a time to sacrifice some things in
order to be closer to God and his people – and cellphones?

12 pm · Healing Eucharist
Early Gifts
Next Sun
The answer could be yes if:
 I feel I must constantly be connected
 I check my messages in the morning before I have
even prayed
 I ever feel “controlled” or “enslaved” to my
phone
 I feel I can’t disconnect from work
 I am frequently distracted by my phone
 I pay too much for my phone
 I feel stressed to respond immediately to messages
 I become too focused on multitasking

It’s quite possible that this handy little piece of technology might become an occasion to sin, and losing
one’s phone for a few days might turn out to be a
gift. It was for me.

Men's Fraternity 33 The Series: 9 am, Steve Pittman, Ray Chartier, Ken
Pittman, (Room 117). Starting Mar 1: "33 The Series - Volume 4: A Man and
His Work.” Work and career play a major role in the life of every man. This
volume of 33 The Series begins by recognizing the obstacles and tensions that
men can experience in their work lives and then unfolds a process that helps
men move beyond the conventional perspective of work that can lead to
dead ends and frustration. It leads them to a bigger, Biblical vision of work
that goes back to God's original intentions. See more at: http://bit.ly/19xAifq.

Spring Conference
The Falls Church Anglican and the Christian Healing Institute are teaming up to bring you a
personalized training conference for current or future healing prayer ministers. The first
workshop, Sat, Apr 11, a pre-requisite for the second workshop, is called: Entry-Level
“Prayer at the Rail” Training. We especially hope that area churches of all types will send
their potential prayer ministers to this training. It is 4 hours of training which will equip
attendees to pray briefly for persons with general prayer requests. The second workshop,
Sat, Apr 18, a week later, will be a day of more specialized teaching, hands-on training, and
lots of Q and A. We’ll be teaching “how to prayer” in certain areas of healing that we’ve
found to be extremely effective. Please visit our webpage for more details:
www.TFCAnglican.org/specializedtraining.
*Completion of training is beneficial to anyone interested in prayer ministry; however,
joining any prayer ministry is at the sole discretion of that ministry’s leadership.
The next Generational Healing Eucharist will be on Sun, Mar 1, 7 pm, Main Sanctuary of
Columbia Baptist Church. Come receive prayer for healing and freedom from patterns of
brokenness, pain, and sickness in yourself or your family line. Includes prayers to renounce
and receive cleansing from non-Christian spiritual practices.
Healing Prayer Hour: Sun, 11 am-12:30 pm, BOC, Room 116. May we pray for you? This

Testimony
Looking back over the blessings of 2014, I am very grateful for the opportunity I
had to be present at the Journey for Healing retreat. Thank you so much for all
the prayer and effort that you and the other members of the Falls Church
Anglican contributed so that I and the other attendees could be so blessed. I
learned a lot about healing prayer, and it will help me with my little contributions to prayer ministry in my church. I took good notes and will be referring to
them regularly, and I know that the Lord was at work for my own healing needs
during the retreat. Thank you so much for your assistance for my personal needs,
relating to special seating. I was in an acute need for healing relating to my left
leg, after a fall in September that caused a huge hematoma and then a rupture of
a cyst in my knee. Slowly, it is now almost back to normal and I know the prayer
was a big part of the process. Thank you and the other prayer ministers so very
much.
Happy New Year, in His grace and peace, Kathleen M.

“These small and perishable bodies we now have were given to us as ponies are
given to schoolboys and schoolgirls. We must learn to manage; not that we may
some day be free of horses altogether but that some day we may ride bare-back,
confident and rejoicing, those greater mounts, those winged, shining and worldshaking horses which perhaps even now expect us with impatience, pawing and
snorting in the king’s stables (C.S. Lewis, Miracles).
