SUMC Announcements

Good morning, Friends,
When you have a little time this week (or even next week), please send me your entry for our Lenten Devotional Booklet for 2009. You only have to write down a Bible verse or two that is important to you; add a paragraph or two about it; and a one line prayer. I will not list your name if you choose.

You may wonder what you can write about or how flowery the words have to be???
Well, the best messages are the simplest, from the heart, and strongest. Perhaps you have something in mind from when you were a child; or perhaps some verse that has kept you strong throughout life; or perhaps, even, something that happened to you recently that has made a big difference in your life.

We have 5 entries in, with 35 to go. Let this be your start to Lent this year.
Thank you very much.
Your friend,
Donna Bell
Worship Committee
