This Sunday is Easter! We will live stream as usual. If you choose to worship with us in person, you are encouraged to bring cut flowers to adorn the cross as a sign of devotion to our risen Lord. Rev. Dennis Winzenried will be preaching, “Running the Resurrection Race.”

We have changed our policy on masks. They are now encouraged, rather than required, in the sanctuary. This is in accordance with the guidance from the CDC. Phelps County is “Low” risk. People with particular sensitivities–which would include many in our congregation–and/or those who are unvaccinated should still wear a mask, but we are trusting your judgment in this matter. We will still have masks available, as well as hand sanitizer, for those who would like to use them. Please be considerate of those who still prefer not to shake hands or have other close contact.
Our Basket of Hope item this week is laundry detergent.

We are all watching the Russian invasion of Ukraine in horror, and most of us in confusion over the historical context. To help us all understand the situation better, Missouri S&T is hosting an event on Wednesday, March 9, at 4 pm, via Zoom:

Rev. Bob Morrison will be preaching on this Transfiguration Sunday. We also plan to baptize a new member, Bryan Martin. Apologies for the technical issues last week–if the live stream fails, we have a better plan so that we will have a backup video to publish after worship.
Right after Transfiguration Sunday comes Lent, which begins with Ash Wednesday on March 2. We will not be holding a service, but our partner in ministry, Christ Episcopal Church, will have drive-thru ashes at noon and a service at 6:30 p.m.
Susan Murray will be preaching “Love My Enemy” based on Psalm 37:1-11, 39-40; 1 Corinthians 15:35-38, 42-50; and Luke 6:27-38. Join us at 9:45 am in person or online. The bulletin is attached in case you would like to print it and bring it along.

Please note that we recently upgraded our sound system. Those of you worshipping remotely may hear some changes as we tweak things in. If you have any comments–good or bad–please share them with Jonathan Kimball.
On this Sixth Sunday After Epiphany, Jonathan Kimball will be preaching. The sermon, “The Kingdom of God is Enough,” will be based on Jeremiah 17:5-10 and Luke 6:17-26.
This is also SOUPER Bowl Sunday. As in past years, we recognize a food mission in our community with the donations on Super Bowl Sunday. This year we are giving to the Back Pack Program and will have collection containers available after worship. If you are worshiping remotely and wish to contribute, put Souper Bowl in the information line on your check.
By the way, the live stream link below (and every week’s link) will also take you to the archived recording after the service. Typically, it is tweaked on Monday to cut out dead time at the beginning, and time stamps are added so that you can go directly to the anthem, sermon, and other important worship elements.
