Noticias Re"Mark"ados (Anuncios en español) Together in Faith: Some Pharisees came and said to him, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” Luke 13:21 We might want to remember what a brave man Jesus was. Stewards strive for bravery too, not to the extent of risking their lives, but sometimes in embracing people and ministries that may be out of the mainstream.

 Christ in the Wilderness by Ivan Kramskoi [Public domain] Today's Readings: Deuteronomy 26:1-11; Psalm 91:1-2, 9-16; Romans 10:8b-13; Luke 4:1-13
Noticias Re"Mark"ados (Anuncios en español) Together in Faith: Jesus answered the devil, “It is written, ‘One does not live by bread alone.’” Luke 4:4 Jesus’ compassion for the poor and oppressed of his time is well documented in the Gospels. It’s true, one doesn’t live by bread alone, but if you’re hungry, bread tastes pretty good! Lent is a perfect time for us to share our ‘bread’ with those who are hungry.

Noticias Re"Mark"ados (Anuncios en español) Together in Faith: Now about eight days (later) Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. Luke 9:28 The evangelist tells us that what Jesus had in mind when he led his friends up the mountain was to pray. In fact, it seems that Jesus often took time off for prayer. That may be a good lesson for us. In the midst of our busy lives, even when we’re doing the good work of a steward, it’s important that we take time off to pray.

Noticias Re"Mark"ados (Anuncios en español) Together in Faith: “But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.” Luke 6:27-28 These words of Jesus have always been difficult to follow, but in today’s world, even more so. Division and anger abound, with many families divided within themselves. Love, patience, listening, an attempt to understand… perhaps these are the virtues we need most today.

Chapel Rock Sunday: Bishop Smith has designated March 3rd as Chapel Rock Sunday throughout the Diocese. On that day, the Bishop is asking each church and congregation members to support the newly created Bishop Kirk Smith Children & Youth Campership Fund. The experiences that our campers have at Chapel Rock are life changing and extraordinary. Every year, when we read camper evaluations, camper after camper says, "That was the best week of my summer!" It is fun, Christ-centered, and provides the opportunity to grow closer to God through the beauty and power of our Episcopal Church traditions. Help send children and youth to camp this summer!
