1 From the Pastor s Heart On March 5, we will begin our Season of Lent with Ash Wednesday. This is a powerful service, and has meant so much to me. The placing of ashes on the forehead reminds us of our mortality (Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust) and only through God s Grace can we have eternal life. Another theme for Ash Wednesday and Lent is repentance. Repentance is turning away from sin (that which separate us from God) and be forgiven. Lent is also a time we remember Christ s sacrifice on the Cross. He gave up his life for us. So during Lent, we give up something during the 40 days (not counting Sunday) to show our appreciation. In the past, my son was always ready to give up vegetables, but not soda. Many of us are like that, we would rather not have to sacrifice. This year, I would like to suggest some things to give up during LENT. Here is my TOP 10 LIST for MT. ZION UNITED METHODIST CHURCH: 10.Give up Gossip 9. Give up Hate 8. Give up Anger 7. Give up Revenge 6. Give up being Self Righteous 5. Give up wearing your feelings on your sleeves where you get your feelings hurt at the smallest thing! 4. Give up always being critical and judgmental 3. Give up complaining 2. Give up Selfish Pride 1. Give up just coming to church once or twice a month! (Please make a commitment to Worship.) WOW!!! Wouldn t our church be a more pleasant place, and we would see what being a true follower of Jesus Christ really is! We would put God FIRST! Come on Mt. Zion UMC, We can do it!! Your Friend, ( AND I m NOT giving that up) Pastor Ted A. Page 1
2 We will begin Lent March 5 th with a service of Ashes and Communion at 6:30 p.m. We will be joined by our friends from Bethany. Our Choir will present an Anthem. Pastor Ted A. will give a short message on repentance. Please set this date and time aside to attend church. United Methodist Men s Group The United Methodist Men s Group are attending Iron Sharpens Iron march 22. If you are interested in attending, Please contact john pierce for more information. Page 2

Zion and Bethany will join together for food, fellowship, and worship. We will begin each evening at 5 p.m. with a light supper(donations accepted), then we will be presenting a drama. The People vs. Judas Iscariot. The 5 act play that will unfold over 5 Sundays of Lent is a court hearing in which Judas is on trial. Prosecutor and Defense Attorneys attempt to sway Judge and Jury(Congregation) with evidence based upon the Bible and tradition. Various witnesses are subpoenaed to testify including Peter, John, Mary Magdalene and in a surprise appearance Death. After each act, we will sing and rejoice, and go home around 6:30 p.m. at the latest. You will not want to miss any acts of the play. Below is the schedule. March 9 Mt. Zion March 30 Bethany March 16 Bethany April 6 Mt. Zion March 23 Mt. Zion Page 3
