News and Announcements for the week of March 10, 2024

Calendar - March calendar



Welcome to Judson Memorial Baptist Church. Today marks the Fourth Sunday in Lent, International Women Composers day, as well as the continuing of the sermon series Reel Theology. As a yearly tradition, during late January/early February, I try to predict the movies that will receive Oscar nominations and subsequently create a sermon series based on a select few. The second installment in this series will focus on “Barbie: Risking Authenticity.” Please wear pink on Sunday if you can. Also, if you have a Barbie doll, you could bring that too. The music being played today has been written or arranged by women, and we are honored to have Ellie Brazeal share a personal reflection with us.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.

Thank you for your generous donations to Starfish Ministries totaling $283.

Lenten Prayer Series

What is Prayer? Is prayer a conversation between us and God or a way of connecting with our own wisdom? Is there a difference between prayer and meditation? What does it mean to live each moment of our lives in continual prayer? In this online series, Carolyn Kolovitz will facilitate an exploration of these questions and a variety of prayer practices. During the first session, we'll hear the questions, ideas, and experiences of one another and then practice centering prayer. All sessions will be from 10:15 - 11:00 am via Zoom.

Carolyn Kolovitz, Spiritual Formation Director.

Mar. 2 – What is Prayer? Centering Prayer  

Mar. 9 – The Welcome Prayer     

Mar. 16 – Visio Divina and Lectio Divina
