How is it with your soul? Two weeks ago, Dr. Watson challenged each of us to prayerfully consider a few folks with whom we could enter into a relationship of encouragement and accountability for spiritual growth. How are you doing in this endeavor? Lenten Scripture Reading Are you reading Scripture with us this Lent? If not, pick up a reading guide at church or online and join us where we are. Birthday Girls We are going to Napolis Italian Restaurant in Terrell this Wednesday, March 13. If you want to car pool, meet at the church no later than 11:00 a.m. Our reservation is for 11:30 a.m. Please RSVP to Linda Greenwald, 903-896-4825 oblingr@aol.com, or Judy Powers, 903-873-2767 judy@ccinets.net, by tomorrow, March 11.

Food Drive We will be collecting food for the middle school backpack program on an ongoing basis at the small table behind the sanctuary. Items should be easily opened and consumed by a child (nothing requiring a can opener or microwave). Small containers and single-servings are helpful, as well. While all donations are appreciated, the current area of greatest need is proteins: Vienna sausages, ravioli, peanut butter, etc. Lets feed these children. Remember, I was hungry, and you gave me food. (Matthew 25:35) Lets Get Social Have you liked us on Facebook (Russell Memorial UMC)? Are you following us on Twitter, Instagram, and Vimeo (RMUMC)?
