1 St. Andrew United Methodist Church Rev. Jeff Childress GREATER LOVE HAS NO ONE THAN THIS... The SACRIFICE Lenten Sermon Series Rehab Our Lenten series in 2018 will follow the series from Discipleship Ministries of the United Methodist Church entitled Rehab. In general, the word, rehabilitate, means to restore to a condition of good health; to restore to a good condition or operation; or to restore a person s reputation. The annual observance of the Lenten discipline among Christians is a perfect way to seek restoration for our lives in spirit, mind, and body. It is a time to reflect, take stock of our spiritual condition, and realign our lives. Each Sunday of Lent will focus on the Scriptures that provide the core guidance for our Rehab journey. Our desired outcome is to learn how to live differently so that the way of Jesus becomes our new normal. Blessings for the journey!

8 It s that time of year. Giving Back As most of you know, for many years it has been Anne Keith s ministry to see that everyone in her church family received a birthday card. Anne is currently unable to continue her ministry, and her birthday is April 1st. We thought it would be a blessing for her church family to send her a birthday card. Ms. Kara said that the Easter Bunny is getting ready to hide eggs at St. Andrew. So, get your Easter baskets ready and be at the Church Saturday, March 31st, at 1:00pm, for a fun filled day of finding eggs, playing with friends, games, and lots of goodies for all. Tell momma and daddy to mark their calendars, because you don t want to miss any of the fun! You may mail her card to: Oakview Assisted Living, 110 Hood Road, Memory Unit, Powdersville SC 29611, or you may put your card in the basket marked Anne Keith located in the Narthex. If you have any questions, contact the office. Thanks. (please note that Ann is back at Oakview and not at National Health Care).
