Together in Faith: Then Jesus said, “There was a man who had two sons.” Luke 15:11

We immediately recognize this introduction to the parable of the prodigal son. It represents such an ordinary but complex situation… how to balance competing interests and values. Stewards always strive for balance, measuring how best to care for all the persons and situations they encounter.

Women’s Shelter: Daughters of the King will be accepting donations for the East Valley Women’s Center. Please place hygiene products in the box provided in the narthex. We would like toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, socks, underwear, and other feminine hygiene products.

Join Us for our Lenten Program: On Wednesdays during Lent, we will begin with Stations of the Cross at 10 am, followed by the healing Eucharist as usual. After the service, there will be a Lenten Program and everyone is encouraged to bring a bag lunch. On Fridays, we will begin with the Soup Supper at 6 pm in Knight Hall with Lenten Program during dinner, followed by Stations of the Cross inside the church. This year’s Lenten Program is “Back to the Basics”, a comprehensive review of the bible and the Anglican tradition; vestments and vessels; church etiquette and protocols.

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.

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.
