Sunday’s scripture

Have you been reading our scripture text daily? Here is a quick link to this week’s lesson:
http://bible.oremus.org/?ql=193901528 Luke 4:14-44
When we gather for worship on Sunday we will have already been thinking and pouring out over the word, ready to learn and grow in our central teaching on Sunday. Our intent for this is to help get our church into the word daily, to help us focus our ministry as a whole, and to seek a unified story of God through a single gospel story.

Family to Family

Many of us life with a loved one suffering from mental illness/brain disorders.
Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, among other disorders are often hidden from the public, our neighbors, and sometimes even from our family member. Yet they can be exhausting and consuming disorders to live with. NAMI MidCarolina (National Alliance for Mental Illness) will again start up a 12 week course of education and support for spouses, adult children, adult siblings, of those with mental illness. It is completely free to participants, and will meet right here at Pilgrim Lutheran Church on Tuesday evenings, beginning February 28th at 6:30pm.
Interested? Please call Mandy Madlock at 206-2916 for more information.

Pastor’s Pounding

Everyone is invited to join in “pounding” Pastor Jay and his family at the cover-dish luncheon following his Installation service on Sunday, Dec. 11th. (no, not with a hammer, but in stocking their pantry with a pound of this, and a pound of that) Pastor Jay has made a very special request, knowing how much in need the Lexington Interfaith Community Services ( LICS ) pantry is, he has asked that we do a double pounding that day. So, if you bring a can of beans for the Pastor’s family, please bring a can of beans for LICS’ pantry. There will be a designated place in the Fellowship Hall for your items. Thanks for much for showing your Southern Hospitality !
