We are midway through Lent. So it is a good time to consider the Lenten Journey and the Idea of Resurrection. These four readings will hopefully provide food for thought and good discussion.

Programming for Children
March 19th
Nursery Care: opens at 8:30am. Antonia and Joey are ready to play with your little one!
K-5 Sunday School starts at 9am. This week the kids are in for a treat! We’ll start in Friendship Hall with some singing together and then Pastor Julia Burkey will lead the children in a joyful, creative “Dancing the Labyrinth” experience. We’ll close with some free playtime and a snack in the Bridges Room. Because Friendship Hall will be in use, you are welcome to enjoy your coffee (found on a cart in the hallway) in Crossroads, the downstairs Bonhoeffer Room, or the Johnson Room. Julia, Sally Allen, and Julie Mazer will guide the children in their learning. 
Music Connections 10am This week the children will begin the 10 o’clock hour in the sanctuary with you. When they are dismissed for Music Connections, we will move to the downstairs Bonhoeffer Room for some ukulele playing and mixed instrument soundscapes based on the Genesis Creation Story (complementary to what the children have recently studied in Sunday School). I am in need of a Music Connections volunteer. Please respond to this message if you can help. 
Save The Date! April 30, the children are invited to play two songs with TruFunction! We’ll play one easy song and a harder song for those ready for a challenge. Those participating need to attend Music Connections at least twice in March and on April 16 and 23. Please note your family’s availability here: https://forms.gle/wwYAFBV5duPFJUpF8

March Compassion Offering
One Great Hour of Sharing
One Great Hour of Sharing®, an ecumenical offering sponsored in Lent by the United Church of Christ, provides humanitarian and disaster relief in the United States and around the world. When a disaster strikes or people are displaced or made refugees by violence or extreme poverty, you are part of the immediate response and the work for long- term recovery. Because the UCC works in partnership to churches and organizations through Global Ministries and worldwide response and recovery networks, your contributions to One Great Hour of Sharing put you in the right place at the right time for the relief, accompaniment and recovery of the most vulnerable. You meet immediate needs and you address the underlying causes that create those needs in the first place.  
You can make a donation by check, on the memo line, please write “compassion” and mail to ORUCC, 1501 Gilbert Road, Madison, WI 53711, or donate online from our website. The link is https://orucc.org/contribute/support/
