For a full report of Newnan FUMC's ZOE working group, please visit the website and click the "ZOE" banner! This list contains the names (and some additional information) of all the children who will be a part of our working group for the next three years! Your partnership commitment was in response to an anonymous donor match and as a result, ZOE received the funding to gather children into an additional working group. In 2017, a total of 160 working groups were formed - that is over 13,000 children who will now be given the chance to dream of a better future and be supplied with the resources and training to make those dreams come true. Thank you for making this journey of transformation with the children of Kenya.
SHROVE TUESDAY PANCAKE SUPPER TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13 | 5-6:30pm | Parish Hall COST: FREE!!! Prepared and served by your church staff! Make reservations online (click the banner), on Connection Cards or by contacting the church office! Gluten Free available (please make note when signing up). The day before the beginning of Lent is known as “Shrove Tuesday.” The old-fashioned English word shrove means “to hear confession of sins, assure the person of God’s forgiveness, and to give appropriate spiritual advice.” On Shrove Tuesday, many Christians take time to reflect upon their lives, identifying wrong doings and areas of their lives in which they desire spiritual growth. This prayerful self-examination becomes the basis for their decision to fast from particular foods or activities during the Lenten season. As a result of the self-examination, persons may also decide to perform acts of service for others during the forty days of Lent. Shrove Tuesday is also referred to as “Fat Tuesday” or “Pancake Day,” because in some faith traditions the cooking with meat, eggs, sugar, and butter would be sacrificed during Lent. A good way to deplete the supply of these items in the household was to make pancakes!
