20080205 Epistle CoverThe Epistle for Feb. 5, 2008, is now available. From Pastor Mark’s Epistle:

Dear Friends,

The Lenten Disciplines are very important as we embark on the forty-day “Journey with Jesus to the Cross” beginning this Wednesday. Here are some practical ways to join in together. I urge your participation in as many ways as possible…

• read THREE SIMPLE RULES: A Wesleyan Way of Living by Bishop Rueben Job. We have a few copies at St. Luke’s, ($5), or you can order/buy at Cokesbury, Bookstar or yahoo.com. Three studies on this insightful work will be presented on Mondays, February 11, 18 & 25 (see article).

• read THE UPPER ROOM daily. We have ordered extra copies for the season; pick one up at church information desk.

• FAST as a sign of devotion as well as healthy self-care, some of us are going to join in foregoing the noon meal each Friday of Lent.

• Be PRESENT at the meaningful observances all the way through Easter.

• PRAY daily for all in need, including yourself in the confessional spirit of the old spiritual, “It’s me, it’s me, oh Lord, Standing in the need of prayer…”

In service, …Pastor Mark
