PALM SUNDAY, MAUNDY THURSDAY, GOOD FRIDAY
From Pastor Regina:
"Maundy Thursday demonstrates the importance of humility and service by remembering
Jesus washing the feet of his disciples.
What a beautiful evening at Connection UMC eating together, serving communion to one another
and providing space to have our hands or feet washed."
LENT - DRAW CLOSE
From Pastor Darren: "On Sunday, March 9th, we will kick off our Lenten series based on Pastor Stephanie's book Draw Close. Each week of the series we will be trying a different creative practice during worship to help us draw close to God throughout the season of Lent. From origami to songwriting to making sun catchers to drawing and painting plan to join us each week in worship as we explore new ways to draw close to God."

CONNECTION YOUTH PREPARE UMCOR HYGEINE KITS
FROM UMCOR'S WEBSITE "The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), a unit of Global Ministries, is a humanitarian organization that helps alleviate human suffering, one of the two main goals of Global Ministries."
One of the ways they do this is by giving out hygiene kits to victims of natural disasters. The Connection congregation donated the items and our youth prepared the kits for delivery to UMCOR.
