Current Sermon Series - Sabbath
Lenten Recommendations & Resources
Lent serves as a time of deep self-reflection and internal inspection. It’s a time to look at what has been getting in the way of our relationship with God, and to actively seek renewal and intimacy with God and each other. For some, it can be a time to strip away bad habits, clear our minds, rid ourselves of excess baggage, and to examine all the ways we “miss the mark” as we acknowledge our regret. We have lots of tools to help us with this process: prayer, fasting, service, and the simplification of our lives in the presence of a loving Father.
We have six practices to help you meet God at the edge of your comfort zone and experiment with prayer. <http://bit.ly/a2vc-lent>
- Your Bold Request
- The Answered Prayer Wall
- Identify and Pray for Your Six
- Bless One of Your Six
- Experiment with a Daily Devotional
- Join us as we give away the Easter offering
Giving Away the Easter Offering
In the past we have given away our offering for Food Gatherers, Habitat for Humanity, Religious for Affordable Housing, SOS Community Center, Shelter Association of Washtenaw County, RIP Medical Debt, and A/C units for low-income families. This year, we are giving away our Easter Offering to Friends in Deed’s Mattress program. Every year Friends In Deed provides around 300 mattresses and beds to families/individuals in Washtenaw County. Offerings designated for the Easter fund will help Friends In Deed purchase the mattresses and all donated funds will be matched at 25% by VanWinkle Mattress. Contributions toward the mattress drive will be collected all through Lent (please designate “Easter offering” if you desire a contribution to go toward this fund). In addition, the entire Easter morning offering will be given to the Friends In Deed mattress fund.
Hearing God in Scripture, Sunday, March 10, 17 - 9:30AM
In this class, we’ll be reflecting on a short passage of scripture together using lectio divina, a simple, time-tested prayer practice that combines scripture and contemplation. If you’re new to prayer or could use some supportive community to practice listening to God’s voice, join us for one or more Sunday mornings. Sign up in the lobby or email Pastor Marissa marissa.ortiz@annarborvineyard.org to learn more.
Cultivate Vineyard - Sunday, March 10th @ 5:30PM
Sunday, March 10th from 5:30pm-7:30pm. Come to Cultivate Vineyard to continue work on the church's updated vision. Cultivate is the place where we will come together as a community to learn, grow, and work on the vision that Jesus has given us for our community. Come to enjoy food together, conversation, and learn about our vision as we participate directly in the work God is doing in our community. Childcare is provided.
Baptism – Sunday, March 31.
Baptism is the means by which disciples (followers) of Christ are publicly identified. In the New Testament, it is evident that baptism follows an individual’s decision to trust Christ alone for salvation. (Act 2:41, 8:12, and 10:47-48) Sign up for baptisms at the events station. There will be a 30 minute baptism meeting scheduled on Sunday, March 17 before church in the meeting room.
Elementary Kids Meet Up, Sunday, April 14
Families of kids aged 6-11 are invited to join for the Elementary Kids Meetup small group on March 3 and April 14. We’ll meet in the cafe after church for lunch, a fun group project, and a conversation about faith and life. Talk to Rafael and LaVon Mejia to learn more (203) 545-9981.
