This Sunday we continue the Lenten series, "Full to the Brim."
The theme for this second Sunday in Lent is "Under God's Wing."
In This Bulletin:
Second Sunday In Lent
Scripture: Luke 13:31-35
Sermon: “Full to the Brim: Under God's Wing"
The artwork to the left, "Enough," is by T. Denise Anderson and is inspired by Luke 13:31-35, in which Jesus expresses anguish over the brokenness he sees around him.
Sunday Worship is at 10:30 -- at Purdys on the first Sunday, and at Katonah the remaining Sundays -- and also on Zoom (email contact@katonahumc.org for Zoom info) as well as the church Facebook page.

Help for Ukraine
Rev. John Calhoun, an elder in the New York Annual Conference and former missionary to Ukraine, has shared that United Methodists are on the ground responding to this human-caused disaster and caring for the Ukrainian refugees who are fleeing. Through The Advance, the donation platform of the UMC Board of Global Ministries, there are two ways that you can give in support of these efforts:
1. Advance #14053A: Eurasia In Mission Together -- Ukraine and Moldova. Donations to this Advance account will be quickly transferred to the bank account of the UMC of Ukraine, which has a system in place to receive these donations, put them to immediate use, and provide reporting on the usage of these funds. To donate, make your check payable to either Katonah or Purdys UMC, and mark Advance #14053A in the memo line, or go to: Eurasia in Mission Together.
2. Advance #982450: UMCOR International Disaster Response. Donations to this Advance account will be directed to UMCOR, which is already partnering with agencies on the ground in Eastern and Central Europe to assist those displaced by the fighting. Donations to this account should be designated "for Ukraine." To donate, make your check payable to either Katonah or Purdys UMC, and mark Advance #982450 in the memo line, or go to: UMCOR International Disaster Response.
