What's Happening: Week of February 5, 2012
Worship
We encounter Jesus in the Gospel of Mark, already breathless from trying to deal with the staggering amount of need all around him. He seeks a respite of solitude and prayer for the strength he needs to carry on. At the 9:00 a.m. service, we participate in the sacrament of communion, a gift of grace-filled time set apart to meet this loving Christ in our worship. At both services, we are called to a life of prayer, of grounding our life of action in the inner search for God’s will in our lives. Carol Tate’s sermon title is: Not Enough Silence.
Since it is the first Sunday of the month, Carol also celebrates Communion in Cedarholm Chapel at 8:00 a.m. and at the 9:00 a.m. sanctuary service.
This Sunday is also Scout Sunday and members of the troops are invited to wear their uniforms.

The Missional Church
Women of the Kirk kick off their annual Church World Service Blankets Plus Program this Sunday. A $5 donation will buy a specially-designed blanket to be used in disaster relief areas around the world. Blanket Fund envelopes can be found in the sanctuary pew racks and church literature racks. For more information on how these funds are used, please visit churchworldservice.org.
Last August, Dr. Provost challenged the congregation to the Two Pound Challenge, asking us to bring two pounds of food to church each Sunday. The focus for the month of February will be fresh citrus fruits. Please bring oranges or grapefruits to church this Sunday to support the pantries and soup kitchens in Pontiac.
