A Big THANK YOU to Denise, for all the motivational emails and prizes for contributions, to Elinor for help with the final printing (it was all done in-house this year!), to all those who helped assemble the booklet and get it ready for the post office, and, of course,  to all the contributors who have shared their thoughts on the topic of "Grace."

Wednesday Evening Christian Education & Dinners:

Wednesday Dinners during Lent, beginning February 24th, 6:00 pm:  "Justice We Pursue" is the theme for the Wednesday Night Series this year.

In a world where we are bombarded by requests at every turn, it is common to ask the question, "What does God require of us?" The prophet Micah answered this question simply with, "To seek justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God." (Micah 6:8) What does it mean to see justice? How is this a part of our daily lives? Gather for conversation and inspiration during this March series at Prospect Park UMC to discover how God is encouraging you to seek justice in daily life, especially for our neighbors who are homeless.

Dinner at 6pm (Provided by the church. Freewill donation.) Programming 6:30-7:30pm for children, youth, and adults.

As a part of PPUMC's commitment to fair trade practices and global responsibility, the Worship Team purchases Eco-Palms, used for Palm Sunday, from Hermes Floral. These palms make their way to us from Mexico and Guatemala, where community members sustainably harvest the palm stems, leaving the plants to grow and be re-harvested in years to come. For more information on Eco-Palms, speak with Ginia Klamecki.
