Stewardship Update

Lent
It's Lent, the time Christians traditionally prepare to celebrate Christ's resurrection with prayer, penitence, and giving. And when you think about giving during Lent, it should be with the same consideration you do the year round: not just about money, but your time and your self. Some people think that this should be a time to deny yourself some food or pleasure or habit, just because denying seems so religious and right. Before you forgo something, take some time to be alone with God and see what God wants. Perhaps you will be surprised. Sometimes we go on about tithing from the Old Testament and forget about all the feasts. Like David's wife, we are too embarrassed about too much fun with God; and all concerned with what everyone else will think. So take time to enjoy God and his blessings this Lent.

Please, Remember the Samaritan's Fund
Several of our fellow Pasadena members are in need; so we'd like to remind everyone that the Samaritan's Fund was set up to help church members and the Deacons' Fund is for those outside the church. At the moment, the Deacons' Fund is doing very well (maybe because it's printed on the pledge offering envelope), but the Samaritan's Fund is getting low as we help our members in need. When filling in your offering envelope, please consider writing in "Samaritan's Fund" so that we can continue to help those who belong to our church.

Wish List Update 
The purchase of a church van took a big step toward reality with a generous endowment from the Beth Talbert Memorial fund of $6,293 last year with the family's agreement. That put us at $12,593, within striking distance of getting a van. So the session agreed to close the gap and asked Dave Terhune and Bill Wyess to look for a suitable vehicle. They found a great used van for $19,400 in Dade City, Pasco County.  So, the church now has a van and it will soon have Pasadena Presbyterian Church's name painted on the sides. God has given us everything we wished for on our wish list, first the new refrigerator and now the church van.
