4th Sunday of Lent, March 15, 2026

Samuel 1:  Then Samuel, with the horn of oil in hand, anointed David in the presence of his brothers; and from that day on, the spirit of the LORD rushed upon David.
Ephesians 5:  Live as children of light, for light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth.
John 9:  “You have seen him, and the one speaking with you is he.” He said, “I do believe, Lord,” and he worshiped him.

 


Friendship is one of the treasures of life that cannot be bought. It can only be cultivated. It must be earned. It must be tended. It is impossible to have a good friend without being one ourselves.
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!

    Acts 2:  Jesus the Nazarene was a man commended to you by God with mighty deeds, wonders, and signs, which God worked through him in your midst, as you yourselves know. This man, delivered up by the set plan and foreknowledge of God, you killed, using lawless men to crucify him. But God raised him up, releasing him from the throes of death, because it was impossible for him to be held by it.
    1 Peter 1:  He was known before the foundation of the world but revealed in the final time for you, who through him believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory,
    Luke 24:  That very day, the first day of the week, two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred.  And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.


    It’s not difficult to get rich.   But it’s difficult to learn to have enough.
