Announcements.

Don’t be in a hurry to leave after church today! There are snacks in the Fellowship Room, so grab a cup of coffee and get to know one another a little better. We will continue this fellowship time through Lent.

There will be a Community Fellowship Meal here at Staunton Mennonite this Wednesday. Anje Cassel will be sharing pictures and stories from her recent trip to Haiti in the sanctuary beginning at 6:00. We will then share in a time of food and fellowship following her presentation. See Kathy for food ideas. The theme this month is a baked potato bar.

The Southern District will be sponsoring a time of worship, prayer, and reflection led by the members of the three Medical Mission Teams sent by Virginia Mennonite Missions. This event is scheduled for March 14th at Lynside Mennonite beginning at 6:30 pm. An offering will be taken to help cover the expenses of these recent trips.

New mailboxes have been added for Joe and Amina Shenk and Greg Sykes.

Congratulations to Ronald and Mim Friesen on the birth of their grandson, Drew James. Drew, who is the son of Bradley and Beth, was born on the 24th at noon. He weighed 7 lbs, 13 oz.

There will be a Stewardship University held at Waynesboro Mennonite on March 20th from 8:30-11:30. There will be no cost for those attending from our church, but advanced registration is required. Please see Glenn Zendt with questions and for registration forms.
 

Please Prayer For:

  • Jim Echard as he adjusts to his new living conditions at Loyalton of Staunton in the assisted living department.
    Those who have been the victims of recent earthquakes in various parts of the world.
     

Luke 13:34b, “How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers 
                        her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!”
