A Memorial Service for Judy Jewell will be held Saturday, March 14th at 11am, at Faith Episcopal Church 2200 Country Club Drive, Cameron Park, CA. Judy was the widow of Pastor Eugene Jewell who served at Faith during a pastoral vacancy prior to calling Pastor Charlane Lines.
E3 SUNDAYS First one - THIS Sunday March 15 is our first E3 Sunday! On our lay-led, third Sundays we explore all kinds of Christian spiritual practices. This month, we focus on hands -- God’s hands and our own hands. Our hands can be balled into fists to hurt us and others. Yet, our hands can also heal, pray, write cards and letters, feed people, restore wholeness, and further peace-making and justice work. When we use our hands for healing and peace-making, God changes us from the inside out. Please join us to engage in this special opportunity to explore practices that you can experience, embrace, and further explore on your own and with your family.
CHURCH CLEANUP DAY Saturday March 21 ~ 9am - noon Please come to help with leaf blowing, raking, weeding, window cleaning, etc. And remember your happy attitude—we'll see you there!

Heavenly Father,
We come before You with heavy hearts as we see the suffering in our world—wars, broken families, and wounded nations. Forgive us for the pride and greed that lead to harm and blind us to the value of every life You created.
As Jesus Christ prayed, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” In that same spirit, we ask for mercy for the leaders of all nations and for all who hold power. Grant them wisdom and humble hearts. Comfort those who mourn, heal the wounded, and bring hope to refugees, soldiers, and innocent families. Guide our world toward peace, justice, and reconciliation. Help us remember that every person is made in Your image.
We ask this in faith, trusting in Your grace and your perfect justice.
Amen.
