    Worship on Sunday, February 5, 2012 Article Attachment
    We celebrate the Lord’s Supper, receiving the nurture that is a gift of grace. Our morning text invites us to consider Jesus’ withdrawing to a lonely place to pray, where he receives the nurture that is a gift of grace.

    Observing Lent at WSBC
    The season of Lent is a period of six weeks during which we remember Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness, from which he emerged with a clear sense of identity and mission. Lent is a time to stay close to Jesus as we deepen our life of communion with God. We look for opportuities for silence as we slow our frenzied lives and turn to calm and stillness. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 22, with 6:30 p.m. worship in the sanctuary, including the imposition of ashes, a vivid reminder of our mortality. Childcare for preschoolers is provided.

    Winter Forums: February 12, 19, and 26
    9:45 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall. What a treat! For our 2012 Winter Forum, Mel Williams will lead our study as we reflect on passages from the book of Ephesians. Focusing on our identity as God’s people, Ephesians challenges us to claim our identity and to use our gifts and call to promote peace, love, and respect as we live into God’s future. As Paul says it in a prayer, “…that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith as you are being rooted and grounded in love.” (Ephesians 3:17) Mark your calendars, bring your Bibles, and come ready to ponder our life together as God’s people in this place.
