JOIN US at 7:15 PM for The Parables of Lent, a special series of services for the
season of Lent. This Wednesday’s lesson is based on the parable of the sower and
the seed. In this parable, the seed that falls on fertile soil takes root and grows, while
the seeds in other soils fail. The service includes readings from Scripture, a sermon
and thematic hymns that help us to remember that when we are open to receiving the
Word, the Word of Christ flourishes within us.
AM STARS will meet on Thursday, February 26 at 10:30 AM in the Family Life
Center Gym. John Lewis, baritone, will be the entertainment for the morning. Lunch
will be a pizza party. All food will be provided. Sign up on the bulletin board in the

Taking Faith Home
February 22, 2015
Scripture Verse for this Week
1 Peter 3:18 (NIRV)
Christ died for sins once and for all time. The One who did what is right died for
those who don’t do right. He died to bring you to God.
 Say at mealtime, read at bedtime, and try to commit to memory
Mealtime Prayer:
For food in a world where many walk in hunger; for faith in a world where many walk
in fear; for friends in a world where many walk alone - we give you thanks, O Lord.
Amen.
Our Four Keys to Passing on the Faith
Caring Conversation:
• What is temptation? Share about a time when you felt tempted.
• Jesus spent 40 days in the desert where he was tempted by the devil. What do
you think it was like for Jesus to spend that time alone in the desert?
• Why is it important for us that Jesus said no to the devil’s temptations?
• How did Jesus overcome the devil’s temptations? How does God help us
when we are tempted?
Devotional Practices
Ash Wednesday begins the season of Lent. The weeks of Lent are a time to refocus
our lives on God. One important spiritual practice that Christians emphasize during
Lent is prayer. Make this Lent a time of prayer for others. Cut out 36 pieces of paper
(one for each of the remaining days of Lent), and on each one write the name of a
person your household can pray for during Lent. Place these into a jar and mix them
up. Each day of Lent, pull out a slip from the jar and ask God to care for and bless
the person named.
Rituals and Traditions:
Make a “crown of thorns” wreath to serve as a home devotional feature. Make or
purchase a grapevine wreath (or equivalent) to use as the base. Insert six purple
candles, one for each remaining week of Lent, and a white candle to represent
Christ. Light one candle the first week, two candles for the week after, and so on.
Begin Holy Week (on Palm Sunday) with all of the six purple candles lit, then
extinguish one candle each night thereafter. Light the Christ candle as you celebrate
Jesus’ resurrection on Easter Sunday.
This week, read 1 Peter 3:18 (Scripture Verse for the Week) as you light the first
candle. Then say this prayer together:
Lord Jesus, thank you for dying to free us from sin, once and for all time. Thank you
for bringing us back to God. Amen.
Service:
As a Lenten practice, many people choose to give up something they usually enjoy.
Decide together to give up a special food item that you would normally buy each
week, or to set aside the money you would usually have spent on eating out. At the
end of March, use what you have saved to buy food items to donate to a community
food shelf or food pantry serving the needy.
