The Time Left
As part of his total stewardship the Christian Steward is also concerned about how he uses his time. The days and years at his disposal are a sacred trust. He is a steward of time as long as he lives.
People today are aware of the significance of time as never before in human history. The idea that this is a peaceful and unhurried existence has been replaced by a rush to accomplish desired purposes immediately, as if there might not be a tomorrow in which to do it. People are living with a sense of urgency.
Time is holy because it may be limited. The condition of the world is such that the representatives of any of the sciences and religion join the belief that time as we have known may have a defi-nite limit. The current means of destruction could possibly obliterate most life from the face of the earth.
A Christian steward who is faithful in the use of his time does not live in fear of the future, but he constantly faces the question of whether or not he is making wise use of the years at his disposal. He asks himself, “Am I being true to God if I devote all my time to work, pleasure and sleep, even if I do tithe my money?”

Animals Tell the Story
The animals (of all things!) mentioned near or during the Passion of our Lord, serve as windows into Jesus’ life, teaching, and saving work. Each week during our Lenten season we will focus on an animal and the lesson it has to share.
In our services this Wednesday we will hear of the dove who will tell us of an angry Savior.
Our theme will continue throughout the Lenten season and conclude on our celebration of Easter.
Take a Trip
Today in our Bible Adventures, Pastor shares a presentation on the healing of ten men who have leprosy in Luke 17:11-19. Next week we will look closely at the feeding of 5,000 as recorded in john 6:1-14.
Prayer Requests
We welcome prayer requests as you arrive. You are invited to fill in a slip of paper with the information. These will be given to Pastor just prior to the service so that we can include these requests as part of our worship service.
Hungry?
We again hold soup suppers before our evening Lenten services. Please check out the sign-up sheets (to eat and to help). Serving begins each Wednesday at 5:30. All are welcome.
