5th Sunday of Lent, March 22, 2026

John 11:  And when he had said this, He cried out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”  The dead man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a cloth.

To be a friend I must commit to confidentiality, be devoted to honesty and be ready to settle down in the midst of hell with my friend, prepared to stay there til the sun comes up again.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister


From Lynda Fleming:

Once again, we would like to put together Easter treat bags for the guys at Souls Harbor. Donna Dinsmore is out of town for several months preparing for a new grandchild, so I will be coordinating the collection. Below is a list of the items that we’re hoping to include. If you would prefer to give a monetary donation, that would be wonderful! Please see me at church or send your contribution via Venmo or Zelle to 972-754-0823.
Socks
Toiletries (travel size)
Toothbrush and small toothpaste
Candy
Laundry detergent pods

Thanks, in advance, for your generosity and support!

    Special Announcement: We are moving

    After celebrating week after week for 10 years, PISD is asking us to move over to Sigler on Janwood.  Apparently it is quite expensive to A/C the large cafetorium at Vines.  Sigler will be more economical.  September 6 we begin our new adventure.

    True?  

     Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely

     in a pretty and well preserved body,

     but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out,    

    and loudly proclaiming,
