Rhythm matters. Over the past couple weeks, I’ve been accompanying Hutchinson middle school string players, helping them prepare for State Contest (which was supposed to be March 10 and sadly was cancelled due to the snowy weather forecast). Let me tell you, without rhythm (and a steady beat), there’s no way we’d be able to make music together!!
I also value the rhythm of the church year walking us through the big story of scripture and our lives of faith each year. Lent (the 40 days leading up to Easter) traditionally is a time of reflection, prayer and repentance as we journey to the cross with Jesus. I considered quite a few Lenten worship resources before settling on continuing through the Gospel of John. One resource I didn’t choose was shaped around Kate Bowler and Jessica Richie’s new book: Good Enough: 40ish Devotionals for a Life of Imperfection. I was intrigued enough to pick up a copy, and I must say I would recommend it – especially if you ever struggle with feeling like you are not enough or with expectations of what a life of faith is ‘supposed’ to look like! With themes very appropriate for Lent, the book begins with a chapter titled “Regula” which is a rule of life, or more simply, “a regular pattern of activities that becomes more valuable over time because its structure creates space for good things.”
Lent is a good time to take a look at the rhythms of our days … at what makes it possible for us to be more in step, in tune, in rhythm with God. Perhaps you want to cultivate a new prayer habit during this time, or you want to rearrange your day to help you live more aware and open to God’s Spirit in your life. As we considered on Ash Wednesday, establishing new or different rhythms might mean you have to let something go or set something aside. Bowler and Richie articulate a similar invitation: “Regulas are not meant to be hard or heavy. We may have been given a story of what a faithful life is supposed to look like … What is something you can set down or let yourself off the hook for? Something that has made a life of faith seem impossible. Write it down on a piece of paper, then throw it away. Practice letting this expectation go so you can take up something gentler.” (7) Perhaps the ‘something gentler’ involves each day beginning again, with Jesus the Good Shepherd as our guide and protector.
A Blessing for Beginning a New Spiritual Practice (from Good Enough: 40ish Devotionals for a Life of Imperfection. Pg 6)
Blessed are we who are trying a new thing though we can’t quite see the whole of it. That’s the beauty of a life of faith. We start in the middle, at the heart center of an unspoken desire to live into the glimpse we’ve had of You and of Your goodness.
Blessed are we who ask You to be the guide as we begin to build from here and create a stronger and more flexible rule of life. Trusting that you are trying to foster life in us.
Blessed are we who remember that we will fall short. We will fail, but that doesn’t mean we are ruined. We simply pick up and begin again.
Blessed are we, willing to be beginners all over again. AMEN (by Kate Bowler and Jessica Richie)

REVISED STATEMENT FROM CMT (Congregational Ministry Team)
This statement is provided to the congregation regarding COVID precautions, based on recommendations from our COVID Response Team (Carol Moore, Joretta Martens, Todd Esau, Dohn Fast).
The CDC’s new guidelines have designated areas into high, medium and low levels of COVID-19. Reno County falls into the low level. This means wearing a mask in public is no longer considered essential. With these updated CDC guidelines, CMT believes that it is an individual choice whether to mask or not to mask while in the church building. Let us continue to be respectful of those who are immunocompromised or unable to be vaccinated by social distancing.
Unfortunately, this virus is still hanging around. If you are feeling ill, please stay home except to obtain medical care. And at all levels of COVID-19 (high, medium, or low), people with symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19, should wear a mask.
REMEMBER to set your clock for DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME THIS SUNDAY!

FMC CENTENNIAL . . . LightHouse Giving Opportunity
The LightHouse addresses the growing need of transitional housing for youths ages 18 to 21 in Hutchinson. The property at 1005 N. Washington Street is currently being renovated into eight one-bedroom apartments.
Interfaith Housing & Community Services is leading this community project. Progress is underway thanks to the help of volunteers renovating this building, which was built in 1887. The Centennial Committee would like for FMC to raise $22,000 by October 2022 to help with these expenses. These dollars will help with construction costs, furnishings for the apartments and ongoing maintenance expenses.
A big thank you to those of you who have already donated! You can see the progress that has already been made on our LightHouse thermometer in the foyer. Checks may be made out to FMC, with “LightHouse” on the memo line. Thank you for your support!
DEEPENING in Christ…
LENT 2022 – TURNING (Gospel of John)
“Pouring over the Lenten texts from John’s Gospel, we are dizzied by all of the turning: God turning toward humanity’s pain as Jesus weeps at raw and unbearable grief; Jesus turning the stench of Lazarus’ death into something confusingly hopeful; Jesus turning into a servant, stooping to wash feet, turning clear water
brown with the disciples gathered dust, turning them toward loving and serving their neighbor. Then humanity’s turning away: Peter turning his back on his best friend; Pilate turning and twisting the truth for political gain; The fickle and riled up crowds turning from ‘hosanna’ to ‘crucify.’’ Then the turning of the earth as grave becomes garden, death turns to life, mourning to dancing.
John’s Gospel invites us into a season of intentional turning. Our hearts turn with compassion for those who grieve. Our lives turn toward our neighbor in acts of solidarity and service. Our eyes turn toward the cross and we see Jesus turning the world upside down with love.” (Worship Well Lent Worship Resources)

KMRS’s purpose is to raise funds for Mennonite Central Committee.
It takes a whole host of individuals playing their part in order that we might carry out the Lord’s bidding to care for the “least of these” found in Matt. 25. We call upon our supporting churches to donate toward the sale budget so that every dollar raised at the sale is donated to MCC. We call upon quilters to complete their quilts and to gather extra supplies to donate to Quilters’ Corner. Consider donating items to the General, Silent and even our Kid’s Auction. During the cool winter months, divide house plants and start vegetable plants to sell at Plants &Things and tea towel sets completed for Kansas Crafts. Challenge yourself to participate in the Run for Relief, a 5K run/walk the Saturday of the sale and spend the winter months gathering your pledges. Go to: https://kansas.mccsale.org/ or like us on Facebook at Kansas Mennonite Relief Sale.
Volunteering for committees or for duties on sale weekend.
There are a variety of committees along with 1000 volunteers needed the weekend of the sale. See your Relief Sale Contact liaison for details on these opportunities or visit the sale website: https://kansas.mccsale.org/
By tithing a little bit of your time each year, you have an amazing opportunity to impact your world by furthering the work of Mennonite Central Committee.
Cash gifts cover event expenses prior to the sale.
Each year, it is the sale board and supporting committees’ goal to raise funds to cover the budget leading up to the sale. The purchasing committee needs cash gifts for 45 items ranging in cost from $350 for butter to $8,800 for building rentals. By meeting the budget prior to the sale, all proceeds sale weekend can be donated to MCC. If you or your Sunday School class can support the sale budget in this way, get in touch with Julie or Todd Esau, your relief sale contact persons, or send contributions to sale treasurer, Jo Kasitz, treasurer, 1715 Casey, Newton, KS 67114.
