WELCOME. We’re glad to gather together as a community of faith today. No matter where you are on the journey of faith, you are welcome here, to join in worship and service. All are invited to a time of refreshment and conversation immediately following worship in St. Andrews Hall (down the steps outside the sanctuary, and to the left).

If you are new to this community of faith, we rejoice in your presence with us. Remember, we’re not strangers, but rather friends who journey together, following the Lord Jesus Christ.

* HYMN O Wondrous Sight, O Vision Fair GG 189 Congregation sings vs. 1 and 2, vs. 3 instrumental, congregation sings vs. 4 and 5. DEO GRACIAS

* AFFIRMATION OF FAITH PSALM 27:1-4

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to devour my flesh – my adversaries and foes – they shall stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war rise up against me, yet I will be confident. One thing I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after; to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORSHIP

TAIZÉ CONTEMPLATIVE WORSHIP – TONIGHT at 7:00pm in the Chapel - We will worship with prayers, singing and silence. An excellent way to begin the week. ASH WEDNESDAY - is March 6. Services at 12noon (Imposition of ashes) and 7:30 pm (Imposition of ashes and Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper). REV. DR. PAUL SMITH TO PREACH SUNDAY, MARCH 10 - On Sunday, March 10, we will have the delight of welcoming Rev. Dr. Paul Smith to our pulpit. Dr. Smith is a retired PC(USA) pastor, having served congregations in Buffalo, St. Louis, Atlanta, and Brooklyn Heights, New York. He also worked in higher education, serving as an administrator at Washington University in St. Louis and as vice president of Morehouse College in Atlanta. A veteran of the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. Smith participated in the 1965 marches from Selma to Montgomery. In the late 1950s, Dr. Smith introduced Andrew Young and Martin Luther King, Jr., to each other. He is the author of Facing Death: The Deep Calling to the Deep, reflections on his time with Arthur Ashe at the end of Ashe’s life. His biography, Listening for the Sound of the Genuine, will be available for purchase. Dr. Smith will preach at both services on March 10 and then will host a conversation about issues related to racial reconciliation afterwards. If you have any questions, reach out to Pastor Scott.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR MISSION BUILDING HOMES. BUILDING FRIENDSHIPS. BUILDING FAITH - Registration is now open for Summer Mission Project 2019! The week is June 24-28 (travel days the Saturday before and after) and the cost is $300 per person. All details, and the registration form, can be found on our website, smp.lewinsville.org. Is this the year YOU will join us? CLIMATE CHANGE: AN ALTERNATE PERSPECTIVE AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS OF UNCERTAINTY – March 20, 2019, 7-9 PM Chapel. All are invited to a discussion on climate change/global warming hosted by the Faith and Public Policy Group here at Lewinsville. The meeting will be moderated by Linton Brooks and will include a discussion with John Theon, Ph.D., a member here at Lewinsville, and our guest speaker, Dr. Patrick Michaels. John worked in research on weather and climate for 33 years, the last 13 of which he headed the NASA weather and climate research program. Dr. Michaels is a climatologist with a Ph. D. in ecological climatology. He served as a research professor of environmental studies from 1980 to 2007 at U. VA., is a past president of the American Association of State Climatologists and served as a US reviewer at the International Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He has written and reviewed several books on the topic of climate change. Currently he is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute. The goal of the presentation will be to help us understand (but not debate) an alternate perspective on the underlying science. Because minority views in science sometimes turn out to be correct, we

Page 13: “I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” · 2019-05-05 · Laudamus te, benedicimus te, adoramus te, glorificamus te, gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam, Domine Deus,

10

will then discuss whether and how uncertainty in the science should influence future policy. What things are worth doing regardless of which view is correct? What may prove to be unnecessary, but have no serious adverse effects? And how should we approach the most difficult issues, especially those with significant social implications? Our objective will be to illuminate how those of different perspectives can work together. Come join us in this exploration. CONGRATULATIONS, LPC, WE'RE OFFICIALLY AN EARTH CARE CONGREGATION! We learned this week that our application has been approved by PC(USA). Many thanks to all who worked to help us meet the requirements. Watch for news about earth care at LPC and how you can be involved as we live into our commitment to be good stewards of God's creation. LENTEN CREATION CARE CALENDAR - “Because the world can change a lot in 40 days.” The LPC Earth Care team is providing for our daily reflection a Lenten Creation Care Calendar produced for Northern Virginia congregations by Interfaith Power & Light and Faith Alliance for Climate Solutions. You are invited to pick up a copy from the information table outside the church office. The calendar is also accessible from the LPC website. Along with the LPC Lenten Devotional Booklet, the calendar can serve as a helpful guide for contemplation, prayer and action. As stated on the calendar: “Lent is a time for prayer, fasting, and more intentional sharing. Again this year, our church is joining with many others in heeding the call to be stewards of God’s Creation throughout this season. May this calendar remind us to be more mindful of the ways that our daily habits impact both “our common home” and all those with whom we share it. On behalf of future generations and all living in poverty—those most harmed by our damaged climate—may we answer God’s call to be faithful stewards, speaking out for Creation care.”

OPPORTUNITIES FOR EDUCATION CHRISTIAN EDUCATION CLASSES – Classes starting March 10 Earth Care: A Call for Faithful Stewardship of God’s Creation – Led by Susan Bartram and Maia Foster in the Chapel. LPC expects to receive certification soon by PC(USA) as an Earth Care Congregation. This is an excellent time to contemplate why we, as Christians, should care for the earth and how we can move forward as an Earth Care Congregation. The Bible tells us that Creation – our natural world – is a divine thing. God saw all that God had made and it was inherently good. Our faith urges us to act as stewards of God’s creation: defending and healing it while working to assure justie for both the natural world and humanity. In this four-week module, we discuss both the theological basis for “Earth Care” and concrete ways in which we can serve as stewards for the Earth in our daily lives. March 10 – God calls us to care for creation.

Short Stories of Jesus – Led by Rev. Dan Thomas in the Library. Jesus was a master storyteller. He specialized in short stories we call parables to often convey his message. But how did Jesus’ Jewish audiences hear, understand and respond to his parables? Can such ancient Jewish insights and understanding shed light on how we may faithfully apply the messages of these parables to

Page 14: “I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” · 2019-05-05 · Laudamus te, benedicimus te, adoramus te, glorificamus te, gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam, Domine Deus,

our lives today? Amy Jill Levins, a Jewish scholar who is both a professor of Jewish Studies and the New Testament at Vanderbilt Divinity School addresses these questions in her DVD series, “Short Stoeis of Jesus: the Enigmatic Parables of a Controversial Rabbi.” March 10: Lost Sheep, Lost Coin, Lost Son.
