Last Sunday we began a series entitled ZUB Life in High Definition. The Lenten season is a time of preparing for Easter. Many of us use this time to reflect on our lives and think about where we need to grow from a spiritual standpoint in the next year. With this series we want to do that with our church.

Last Sunday we looked at spiritual formation as it relates to our children. We talked about how, as a church, we want to support parents in their effort to teach their children about God. This coming Sunday we will be talking about spiritual formation as it relates to adults. We would love to have you join us.

This is also the time for our Easter Egg Fundraiser. Every year we make and sell about 1600 chocolate covered peanut butter eggs. We use the proceeds for mission trips and other mission activities. It also happens to be a great time for growing together as we will be spending 4 nights a week together during egg production.

Justin won our Speed Texting Championship on Sunday to cap off our Missions Month in grand style. Technology makes it easier than ever to support our missionaries but we need to take the initiative to reach out to them and let them know we are behind them. We also presented our Faith Promise pledges and we thank everyone who took part.

March is shaping up to be a fantastic month as we begin our 252 Children’s Ministry. We are looking for some exciting things to come out of that as we help parents follow the biblical directive to teach their children about God.

We will also begin our Easter Egg Fundraiser and we need help with orders and with egg production. The proceeds help us spread the good news of Jesus around the world. Every little bit of help counts so be sure to lend a hand.

Most importantly, we will be preparing for Easter this month. Lent is the perfect time to reflect on our lives and the difference Jesus makes. We will be doing the same thing as a church as we will be taking stock of where we are and where we need to go. It promises to be a great ride and we look forward to having you join us.
