Midweek Meetup: Week of March 12

Mar 12, 2025

Verse of the Day~

“Be on guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life and that day does not catch you unexpectedly, like a trap. For it will come upon all who live on the face of the whole earth. (Luke 21:34-35)


Prayer~

The world really does weigh me down. I worry about tomorrow. I obsess about yesterday. I stress out about today. Help me, Jesus, to put my trust in you every day. Amen.


Meeting Jesus ~  This second Sunday of Lent, our Journey to Jerusalem continues in Luke 12:1-12 as Jesus teaches us how to trust God’s love and prepare for God’s judgment. With special music, “His Eye Is On the Sparrow.”  Bring a friend!


Meeting Friends ~ We have had no success finding volunteers to cover for our secretary Makayla Goodwin while she is on maternity leave, so our next move is to see if anyone would be interested in a temporary, paid position for just 4-5 hours/week on Thursdays from April 1 to May 15. Candidates need to be good with computers, apps, and word processing. The ability to read music is a plus. Interested? Please contact Pastor MJ. (Please note: We will only consider candidates from within the church for this position.)


Sharing Hope ~ Our Deacons Fund is still running low, as we received no donations this past weekend.. Please give generously as you are able to provide emergency funds for church and community members when needed. If you’d like to give online, just visit https://firstchurchlajunta.org/give.
