RUAH KICKOFF PARTY

Join us Sunday, Feb. 18th for a reboot of the Wesley Youth Group who have taken claim of the name Ruah!

Ruah, (pronounced in Hebrew Ruach), is the Hebrew word translated as God’s Spirit. However, the word is also translated as breath, air, and wind in the Scriptures, reminding each of us of the physicalness of God’s presence in the world.

At the Last Supper, Jesus told the apostles that He would send His Advocate:  John 14:16 “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always..” This spirit, RUAH, is alive in our world and in our own bodies.  He is with us always. We can offer our very breath to Him and allow Him to transform our lives and the lives of those around us every day. We can dedicate every moment of our lives to His Glory by dedicating every breath to Him and His Will.  Lord, let every breath, as I speak your name, praise you and bring me ever closer to you and your will and help us.

This year the Youth Group will be lead by a group of dedicated volunteers, including Kristine Johnson, Jensen Senson, and Marilyn Preston, as well as others who will join in throughout the year. We are excited for a new year of deep spiritual growth and some fun!

COMMUNION/COVENANT SERVICE

ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE

Lent is a 40 day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that begins on Ash
Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday. It’s a period of
preparation to celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection at Easter. During Lent, we
seek the Lord in prayer by reading our Bibles; we serve by giving an offering;
and we practice self-control through fasting. We are called not only to abstain
from luxuries during Lent, but to a true inner conversion of heart as we seek to
follow Christ’s will more faithfully. We recall the waters of baptism in which
we were also baptized into Christ’s death, died to sin and evil, and began new
life in Christ.

We are also called to practice self-discipline and fast in other ways throughout
the season. In addition, the giving of alms is one way to share God’s gifts—not
only through the distribution of money, but through the sharing of our time
and talents.

In Lent, the baptized are called to renew their baptismal commitment as
others prepare to be baptized. To this end, we are offering a covenant service
Sunday, February 18 at the morning service, which will include communion.
This is a service designed to allow us all to rededicate our hearts and lives to
the work of our Lord.

We are also going to offer a baptism by immersion
service right after Easter for those who are seeking baptism. Lent is a
traditional time of preparation for those wishing to be baptized.
Lent will begin on Ash Wednesday, February 14 at 7 pm. We all have ashes
created from last year’s Palm Sunday branches placed on our foreheads to
help us remember the significance of the cross.
