Can you believe we're already talking about March 2009???? I am having a hard time believing it myself, except that I've just had the privilege to compile all of your contributions for the March newsletter and I'm really excited about all that we're doing at Embry Hills UMC. Of course, March generally means we're celebrating LENT, the period of preparation before Christs' resurrection. Within the newsletter pages, you'll read how we're preparing for Easter, how you can participate in LENT, what our Youth are doing, the wonderful work our adult ministries are doing and much more.

Hi friends, The February 2009 newsletter is now available for your reading pleasure. In this issue, aside from the regular features, you will meet Steven Lang and Leigh Ann Lawler, newest members at EHUMC. Mark you calendars for a February 15th appearance by singer-songwriter Lee Domann. If you've noticed the new banners prominently displayed out in front of the church, read here who so graciously donated the funds for these welcoming signs.

Welcome to the New Year, EHUMC members! In this issue, meet our newest members, the Mowinski family, read about the new Disciple Class offerings coming up in January, be sure to see what December's Night in Bethlehem was all about and more. May the new year bring you joy, happiness, love and a special relationship with God.
