Yes, it is time to prepare the soil and start planting seeds and seedlings.  We will have our first meeting in the garden on Saturday, March 17 at 9am. The garden is located at 4321 S Elm-Eugene St. Please consider joining us and if you have a rake or hoe please bring it along. There will be plenty to do, so many hands will make light work for all.

2012 Lenten Series

“Into the Depths: Deepening our Spiritual Lives”

The season of Lent, a time when we prepare for Jesus’ journey into Jerusalem and to the cross, offers us a chance for self-reflection and growth, a chance to think deeply about how we can grow closer to God, a chance to incorporate in our daily lives reminders of God’s presence, gifts and calling of us.  Spiritual practices such as prayer, meditation, and reading scripture offer concrete ways of quieting our minds so that we may listen more closely for God’s voice.  Sometimes we may not know where or how to begin with these practices or we may find it difficult to do them on our own.

For the six weeks of Lent, I will be leading an evening series that will offer the chance to experience different types of spiritual practices.  Each session will last an hour and will include a brief devotional, some history about that week’s practice, instruction in the practice, the chance to practice together and some time to reflect on our experience.  If you are interested in exploring prayer, meditation or spiritual reading and the ways in which these practices can deepen your spiritual life, I invite you to join us on Monday evenings at 7:00 pm beginning on Monday, February 27th.  Why not invite a friend to come along?

In order to offer this class, I need at least five people to commit to attending four out of six sessions, so please let me know if you are interested or if you have questions (thandiwe@fccgreensboro.org).

The FCC Men’s Ministry (CMF) will conduct their annual BBQ sale on Saturday, March 3, 2012. Tickets are $7.00 which includes 12 oz. BBQ, slaw and rolls. A single order is more than needed for a light eater but not quite enough for two.

As always, our profits are used to provide for the CMF benevolent projects. If you would like to see how past profits have been spent, just ask!

All men of the Church will be receiving at least 10 tickets for sale. The Church office also has some extra tickets.

The CMF looks forward to a successful BBQ event. Please support our efforts by contacting your favorite church guy for tickets!

Join us as we begin the Lenten season with a simple service of scripture, prayer, music, and the optional imposition of ashes. Ash Wednesday reminds us of human mortality and sin, even as we celebrate God’s good gift of grace.

The service will be held on Wednesday, Feb 22 at 7:00pm.
