LENT BEGINS
Ash Wednesday, February 17th
5:00pm and 7:00pm Services
5:45pm - Dinner
Grounded In Prayer
Throughout Lent, we will be growing in our understanding of how we are Grounded in Prayer each and everyday. We will look at how the Holy Spirit loosens the soil of our hearts, helps us recognize distractions, weed out things that choke our spirits, and tend to the seeds of faith that are enriched by the good soil in our hearts. We invite you to pray together with family/friends each day. Take time to create a bit of sacred space in your home. It could be as simple as a candle and your bible by a favorite chair. Consider joining us for the book study on prayer on Wednesdays during Lent in between worship services in the lounge. We will be exploring different themes each week which include:
Week 1: The Groundwork of Prayer Wed., Feb. 17th
The first week of this study introduces basic concepts, such as our need to pray, God’s desire for us to pray, and consistency and persistence in prayer.
Week 2: Sharpening Your Personal Tools for Prayer Feb. 24th
The second week explores different aspects of prayer like adoration, confession of sin, thanksgiving, supplication, and worship.
Week 3: Praying for the Hardened Path Wed., Mar. 3rd
Resistance to the gospel is real. In the third week, we will pray for a softening of hard hearts.
Week 4: Praying for the Rocky Ground Wed., Mar. 10th
This week will focus on all the distractions that get in the way when it comes to a life of faith.
Week 5: Praying for the Thorny Ground Wed., Mar. 17th
When life gets difficult, we either turn to our faith or fall away from it. This week we look at challenges to our faith.
Week 6: Blessing the Good Soil Wed., Mar. 24th
We look at how we care for the good soil and bless it in our daily lives.
Thank you for joining together for this prayer journey. Blessings on your paths of prayer this Lenten season.
SOUPER BOWL OF CARING
Sunday, February 7th
Olivet Narthex
This is the 11th year that Olivet will be participating in the SOUPER BOWL OF CARING event. On Sunday, February 7th after each church service, Olivet Youth members will be holding large soup kettles in the Narthex to collect money for the Dorothy Day Food Pantry. There will also be empty boxes to collect food pantry donations. We are asking all members of our congregation to put in $1 and bring one non-perishable food item to help support the Dorothy Day Food Pantry. Last year, churches all over the nation raised over $10 million dollars for local charities during the SOUPER BOWL OF CARING day. Here at Olivet, we raised $1,155 and collected 240 food items. Join us this year on February 7th as we support the Dorothy Day Food Pantry.
