LENT – Use these 40 Days of Renewal to draw yourself closer to God in various ways, most of which have nothing to do with not eating candy. Consider daily devotions. Or Scripture reading. Or paying for the car behind you in the Starbucks or fast-food line. Or fasting from your many “screens”. Or other random acts of kindness. Or bring donations to our food pantry. How will you honor this season?
FIX-UP, PAINT-UP, AND BEAUTIFY – We will be holding a painting and slight re-decorating party on Friday evening, March 31st and Saturday morning, April 1st. We plan to re-paint the entryway and fellowship areas, and create some “cozier” fellowshipping areas. If you like to paint – or even if you don’t, but can – please plan on joining us to help out.
WOMEN’S RETREAT – Threshold women are cordially invited to “The Light”, a women’s overnight retreat given by Susie Sartarelli on April 28th and 29th. It will be held at The Bertram Inn, Aurora, Ohio from Friday evening through Saturday afternoon. Anyone who wants to go is asked to register with payment before March 19th, when attendance will be opened to Susie’s church. See Mary Jo Hoffman for details – mjhoffmansells@gmail.com or 513-235-6067. Or go to: http://www.trinitymentor.com/womensretreat/
