Subject: Don't Forget Daylight Savings Starts THIS Sunday!

Dear Hot Metallers,

This week we'll hear perhaps the most famous Christian scripture read - John 3:16. "For God so loved the world" reveals the fundamental truth that at the core of God's actions in this world is love. But why does Jesus say these words? To whom is he saying them? Why does this particular person need to hear these particular words? Do they walk away understanding their significance? What does this have to do with Lent? We'll read John 3:1-17 and find out!

We'll also officially install our two new staff members, Candace and Victoria, and celebrate the awesome other staff we have! We give thanks for the people who dedicate their time and gifts in service to the community! As always, we'll pray together and receive the gifts of communion and community. We hope you'll join us!

Peace,
Pastor Erin
