ANNOUNCEMENTS
ASH WEDNESDAY is this Wednesday. The Ash Wednesday Service is a Holy Communion Service that begins at 7:00pm. Imposition of Ashes is offered between the public confession and absolution. “From dust we came and to dust we will return” (Genesis 3:19) in anticipation of the Absolution in Christ.
JOEL’S ELDER GROUP - WOULD YOU LIKE PASTOR TO VISIT? Please let me or Joel know. For those not in Joel’s elder group, I am still available to meet with you, too. My hope with a faster rotation is that visits and the care of your souls outside Sunday mornings will be a little more deliberate. I have explained this more in the February Newsletter Also, feel free to stop in during scheduled Office Hours as well, which are Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:00 - 6:00pm. Thank you and God bless you. Pastor Pautz
