Lent Devotional
Lent is a time of reflection as we focus our attention to the cross and resurrection of Jesus. During the season of Lent we will be sharing a weekly devotional for you to hear God’s Word and reflect on themes and questions for the season of Lent. Every Monday, starting February 15th, you can receive a link to a Lenten devotional video. The devotional concludes on Holy Week as we welcome you to our Holy Week services. To join the devotional group, text the word Lent2021 to 972-349-0076.

Trietsch Blood Drive
 Our neighbors across the street at Trietsch MUMC have asked for our help in getting signups for their blood drives. As siblings in Christ, we rejoice for opportunities to join our neighbors in caring for those in our community.
On Feb. 14th, Carter BloodCare’s mobile blood bus will be in the Trietsch parking lot from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Carter will provide every blood donor with a $20 Uber Eats coupon and free COVID-19 antibody testing. CLICK HERE to sign up and schedule your 2/14 BLOOD donation time. Or, if you previously had COVID-19, have recovered, and have been symptom-free for at least 14 days, you can help save the life of someone battling the virus right now by donating convalescent plasma. If you choose this option, you will still receive the $20 Uber Eats coupon the antibody testing. CLICK HERE to sign up and schedule your 2/14 PLASMA donation time.
