40-DAY BIBLE READING PLAN – Those of you who are participating in our challenge to read or listen to the New Testament during this year’s 40 days of Lent (from Ash Wednesday thru Holy Saturday, excluding Sundays) should have just finished Chapter 9 of the Gospel of Luke. If you are ahead of schedule, that’s wonderful! (‘wunderbar’ auf Deutsch!) If you are not quite there yet, then try some of the ‘getting-back-on-schedule’ alternatives we discussed or feel free to talk to the Pastor. For those of you who are reading the New Testament to our shut-in members, thank you for your service in His Kingdom; God’s blessings be multiplied unto you!
