THOUGHT OF THE WEEK
God is more generous than we are, and if that’s a problem, then more fool we. Perhaps the gospel is not good enough for us, but for those who are habitually a day late and a dollar short, who are wherever we are not by merit but by grace, we, and I among them, are grateful for a generous and compassionate God who finds room for us and for people like us at the close of the day. - from “Justice and Generosity” by the Rev. Prof. Peter Gomes (Dr. Gomes died last week.)
PANCAKES AND PAJAMA PARTY
All are invited to celebrate Shrove Tuesday at our annual MPC and Preschool Pancake Supper and Pajama Party this evening from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m. in Fellowship Hall. Enjoy dinner while Ruby the Clown delights the children with his tricks and antics. Kids are invited to wear their favorite PJs. We continue our collection of new pajamas, socks and underwear for Threads, a children’s clothing ministry of All-Saints Episcopal Church. Please bring your donations to the Pancake Supper.
