The Sunday Journal for March 07, 2010 - Third Sunday in Lent

Ascension’s Mission Statement
“DISCIPLES OF CHRIST CALLED TO SERVE NEIGHBORS NEAR AND FAR”

Greetings and a warm welcome to all.

Happy Lent. Please review the Lenten schedule of offerings for the next several weeks and Holy Week, and make your plans to participate. I will send a letter to the entire parish concerning more information about the Christian Seder meal on Maundy Thursday, April 1. Stay tuned as we move forward on our Lenten journey together.
We extend a warm welcome to Bishop Donald Hultstrand and his wife, Ann. Bishop Hultstrand will confirm Theresa Bryson today. Theresa has spent many months in preparation for this wonderful event in her life, and the life of our parish.  We are all invited to celebrate with her at the reception following the 10:30 worship. The vestry will also meet with bishop Hultstrand following the reception.
We also welcome today Imam Mustafa Khattab, our guest speaker for the combined Adult Education classes. He will speak to us this Sunday and next Sunday, March 14, about his faith, and answer any questions we may have.   He has graciously agreed to share his knowledge and his time with us. Many thanks to the Christian Formation Committee to its commitment to providing speakers and many opportunities for our learning and growth.

Ecce quam bonum,
