Here's Sunday's Bulletin. Before Worship: Join Us 10:30-10:50 am for "Praying With Art" Lent meditation, Fellowship Hall!

Sunday's message in our "Lent Means Letting Go" series: "Possessed by Our Possessions"?

How are our material possessions serving God's world through us -- or, do we find ourselves increasingly in service to them? And what can the Communion we celebrate each Sunday in Lent teach us about divesting of our "stuff" that surrounds us? How Free Do We Want to Be?

SUNDAY, MARCH 10 11 AM WORSHIP : LENT MEANS LETTING GO

Sunday, March 10, 2019, 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM

Here's Sunday's Bulletin. Take note of the Invitation To Pray With Art on page 4 (10:30 am Sunday) + next Thursday's Table Talk on page 5!

Letting Go. Could there be a greater spiritual challenge in Metro DC? We who salute self-improvement can find letting go’s prospect of self-discovery difficult.

And yet: Lent Means Letting Go. And it's our Lenten theme this year at Bethesda Presbyterian. Join Us Sunday as we begin our pilgrimage of release and trust around the Communion Table and in communion with one another!

ASH WEDNESDAY AT 8 PM; THURSDAY TABLE TALK AT 7 PM!

Wed, Mar 6, 2019, 8:00 PM – Thu, Mar 7, 2019, 8:30 PM

Join us Wednesday evening, 8:00-8:30 pm, in our beautiful, shadow-filled Sanctuary for Candles, Meditative Music & Imposition of Ashes. God is Good!

Thursday at La Madeleine Cafe (7607 Old Georgetown Rd, Bethesda), our Table Talk features Lisa Mensah: "The Challenge of Persistent Poverty in the U.S. and the Promise of Community Development Finance". Supper at 6:30, Program 7:00-8:30. All are welcomed!

11 AM WORSHIP MARCH 3: ARE YOU PLANNING YOUR PAST?

Sunday, March 3, 2019, 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Bethesda Presbyterian Church

United States

Here's Sunday's Bulletin. What do you hope to be … say, 20 years ago? About 800 years after they died, Moses & Elijah were transfigured with Jesus on a mountaintop. And disciple Peter decided he wanted to preserve that moment for all time and glory.

Peter was planning the past. And so we are always tempted to do. Entering Lent: how to move beyond any unresolved or euphoric past each of us might be planning in our lives?

Hope to see you Sunday! And hope you will join us in the Fellowship Hall afterward to continue our Offering of Letters campaign for more humane food policies. Writing tools, talking points, sample letters made available.
