THANK YOU Intrepid $crip =
C=
aution: Don’=
t plan to buy $crip on March 21 or April 4. Why? March 21 becau=
se of whom our supplier is, and April 4 because of whom we are. How&#=
8217;s that? Our supplier is a school district and they will be on Sp=
ring Break beginning March 20. We’ll be back in $crip business =
for just one week on March 28 – but not for Easter Sunday, April 4th. =
Does that mean the cautious person will not buy $crip before those dates?&n=
bsp; Have no fear, your Intrepid Scrip Team will track you down and deliver=
! We just caution you not to wait too long for these Special $crip pr=
oducts to include in your Easter baskets: Baskin and Robbins, Jamba J=
uice, Kaady Carwash, Starbucks (yes, they sell $5.00 cards!). Even Ho=
me Depot can be a treat! Then there is Honey Baked Ham, mmm.
=
Don’t forget the See’s Candy – bargain basement prices an=
d HUMC still earns $1.30 per pound for Shared Giving. Couldn’t =
be any more intrepid than that! Altar Images, 2010 =
On our altar this Lenten season are images of forgiveness. The baptis=
mal bowl, a pitcher and basin for washing feet, branch to remind us of the =
fig tree, oil lamps as signs of light, costly perfume, the cup and the plat=
e for communion, all laid out on the cloth showing the crucifixion. O=
ur Lenten gospel, Luke, tells the stories behind these images. Listen=
and remember – You are forgiven. Check out the Lenten Symbol Tree =
The Morning JAM and Lift Off! participants have been busy adding symbols to=
the tree each week. This work of art is in the Fireside Room.=
HUMY St. Patrick's Party
