Lent Wednesday, March 20– “A God Beaten” (Isaiah 52:13–53:12; John 18:19–24): We recall that the man Jesus was struck in the home of the high priest, although He was our great High Priest. He was struck according to God’s will; He was beaten for us!

Easter Lilies: This year, the Easter Lilies will be purchased with monies currently in the flower fund. However, you will have the opportunity to ‘sponsor’ an Easter lily. Donations from sponsorships will be sent to Lumberton, NC, for the hurricane relief fund. On March 31, there will be a bulletin insert that will let you fill out your Easter Lily Sponsor donation in honor or memory of your loved ones. The sponsorships will then be listed in the bulletin as usual.
