The Epistle for Feb. 19, 2008, is now available. From Pastor Mark’s Epistle:
Dear Friends,
Fasting can be an interesting discipline. Just as I was beginning to feel prideful about my Friday noon foregoing of lunch during Lent, I discovered that one of our members fasts for a full day, weekly, all year round! Thinking of myself, it reminds me of how Jesus said, “Oh, ye of little faith!”
I do sincerely hope some of you will join in this ancient tradition. It is a prayerful discipline of self-denial. The $5 or so contributed each Friday can mount up to combat world hunger. Not coincidentally, it can help our bodies, too. Approached properly, it can produce not only more disciplined, but healthier Christians.
Feel free to join in, completely on an “honor system,” each Friday for the remainder of Lent, through March 21.
In service, …Pastor Mark
