SUMMARY:Lent Book Study | Beginning Feb. 27
DESCRIPTION:SAVIOR: What the Bible Says About the Cross\nby Magrey deVega\n\nEach week we’ll look at a chapter in the book\, watch a video with the author and have time for discussion.\n\n\n\n1) Choose which option works best for you:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMondays | 1:30PM | in person at Clarkson Road Presbyterian Church\nWednesdays | 1PM & 7:30PM | online with Dixie Presbyterian Church\nThursdays | 10AM | in person at St. Andrew’s Memorial Church\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2) Register at office@clarksonpc.com\n\n\n\n3) Get a copy of the book:\nBooks are $20 each and are available at Clarkson Road’s church office.\n\n\n\nAbout the Book:\nThe cross is the central symbol of the Christian faith. But what exactly did Jesus do to save us from our sins? Why was the cross necessary\, and what does it mean for us today? In “Savior: What the Bible Says About the Cross“\, Magrey deVega faithfully describes the need for reconciliation between humankind and a holy God through Jesus’ death on the cross. The Bible uses many images to understand the meaning of Jesus’ death and resurrection\, and deVega guides us through these images to achieve a richer understanding of the Christian faith. By exploring the mystery of salvation through the cross\, we can deepen our love for God and others and strengthen our commitment to follow Jesus.\n\nEveryone is invited to be part of a study group.\nClarkson\, Dixie\, Erindale and St. Andrew’s are working together so you can pick the time and place that suits you best.

SUMMARY:Lent Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:MONDAYS AT 1:30PM  |  Beginning MARCH 7 \nLent is a season of preparation for Holy Week which is marked by Good Friday and Easter Sunday. This time of preparation can take many forms. Some people like to use the spiritual practice of fasting (i.e.\, giving up something) and others like to use it as a time to take on a spiritual practice (e.g.\, praying\, reading the Bible\, etc.). These practices are all designed to help us get closer to God and deepen your spiritual life. \nThis year our worship series\, and reflection activities will be based on Kate Bowler’s work\, “A Good Enough Lent”. Kate is a Canadian who works as a Professor at Duke Divinity School. After being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at age 35\, Kate has done a lot of writing\, reflecting and talking about how we live a full and meaningful life when we don’t get the life we want. Life can’t always be about ‘getting better’ or ‘striving for more’. Sometimes life just happens and we have things that happen to us that we would never choose. As many options as there are in the self-help section of the book stores not everything can be ‘helped’ away. As we move through this series\, we’ll explore how we are enough and God is enough. \nA weekly discussion will be held each Monday at 1:30 pm for about 1 hr via Zoom  . There is a Lent Guidebook with daily readings\, reflection questions and a prayer. It’s good to have this and participate as much as you can but you don’t have to have completed everything to come to the discussion group. If you’d like a copy of the booklet\, please contact the office at office@clarksonpc.com or download it here.  You can download the weekly reading schedule here.  Everyone is welcome!   \nDetails on how to connect are in the weekly eNewsletter or by emailing Rev. Gale: revgalemacdonald@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Indwell Welcome Packages

You may have noticed this distinctive building\, painted with blue waves\, on the north side of Lakeshore\, near Cawthra Road. The Compass will be moving into a new space on the first floor of this building early in the new year. \nOur plan for December for Faith in Action is to create “Welcome Packages” for the new residents of the building. We will also be providing additional items for some of the residents who are moving in with few possessions. \nWe will be collecting the items on the list below during the month of December.  (The list will be updated weekly to show how many of each item we still need). \nHow you can get these items to us\n\nDrop them off at the church during the Sunday service.\nDrop them off at the church during Karen’s office hours (Thursdays\, 10-12).\nLeave them at the front door of the church (outside Gale’s office) at any time when the church is closed and our custodian\, Tom\, will bring them inside.\n\nWHAT WE ARE COLLECTING  |   QUANTITY REQUIRED\n(These quantities are updated weekly and reflect what is still needed)\n\nPaper towel (2-pack)  |  36 pkgs\nKleenex boxes  |  82 boxes\nToilet paper  |  68 rolls\nDish soap (800 ml or larger)  |  59\nHand soap (liquid)  |  61\nTea towels (new only)  |  74\nJ-cloths (package of 8)  |  COMPLETE\nScrubbing sponges  |  49\nRe-usable shopping bags – large (new)  |  65\nToilet brush and bowl cleaner  |  8\nAll purpose cleaner (1.2L or 1.3L)  |  8\nBroom and dustpan  |  4\n\nWe are also accepting cash donations so that we may buy additional items for the residents who are moving in with few possessions.
