As we journey through the weeks of Lent we will gather to serve as the jury
during the trial of Jesus. The congregation will be asked to serve as the jury
during the various stages of the trial. Do not assume you know how you will cast
your vote: Guilty or innocent, until you have heard all the testimonies and see
for yourself the evidence.

The World
Day of Prayer
|
The World Day of Prayer service for the community will be
held at Palm Schwenkfelder Church at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 7, 2010.
This is an international event that unites Christian women
and men in over 170 countries, in prayer. Spoken in hundreds of languages and
dialects, World Day of Prayer strives to bring “informed prayer and prayerful
action” to our communities.
The service this year was written by the country of Cameroon, Africa. |
 |
|
This year's theme, "Let Everything That Has Breath Praise
God," takes its cue from Psalm 150 and begins the way the Psalm does, “Praise
God.”
Through this invocation, God is called up as “…our
refuge and strength, ever ready to help, strengthen, guide and enlighten us in
times of joy and sadness.” Wherever we find
ourselves in life, we also find God’s unconditional love. Blessed with great
cultural wealth, this perspective of God's unconditional love is at the very
core of the Cameroonian capacity to praise God.
We will join with people all over the earth and with all
of creation. Together we will fulfill the call of Psalm 150: Let everything that
has breath praise God. We anticipate yet another wonderful service which the
World Day of Prayer Committee in Cameroon has prepared for us. Let's turn our
prayers into action!
Anyone who may be interested in participating in this
service should plan to remain for a brief planning session immediately following
Fellowship Time on Saturday, February 13, after the Women’s Week Communion
Service.
If you do not wish to actually play a role in this
service, please know that you are invited and encouraged to come. Enjoy and be a
part of this meaningful service by simply joining your sisters and brothers in
prayer. |

Stephens, Pastor of Pennsburg United Church of Christ
“FROM NOW ON YOU’LL BE FISHING FOR MEN AND WOMEN” Luke

The theme for this year’s Women’s Week asks what if you
had been among the disciples, hearing Jesus’ challenge directed at you. How
would you respond? How far are you willing to wade into the water?
A special anthem offered by the women will be included in our
worship service. If you would like to participate in the choir, please advise
Delores Schuler at 610-395-1507. Women of community churches will also be
invited.
Please mark your calendar and plan to attend this worship
experience. |
