Book Group: The Last Week (Selected Sundays - after worship)
Using the gospel of Mark as their guide, Borg and Crossan present a day-by-day account of Jesus's final week of life. They begin their story on Palm Sunday with two triumphal entries into Jerusalem. The first entry, that of Roman governor Pontius Pilate leading Roman soldiers into the city, symbolized military strength. The second heralded a new kind of moral hero who was praised by the people as he rode in on a humble donkey. The Jesus introduced by Borg and Crossan is this new moral hero, a more dangerous Jesus than the one enshrined in the church's traditional teachings.

Thanks to our friends from the Jacksonville Community Methodist Church who will be volunteering at the pantry for March and April!!

Empty Bowls last Sunday was a sold-out event. Lot of people attended and had a good time choosing their ceramic bowl and eating soup, cookies, and bread. All of the bowling alleys were full with happy people too. Many people went home with raffle prizes and the silent auction was doing a good business Thank you to those who baked cookies for this event. I don’t know how much money was taken in to benefit the food pantry, but I will let you know when I find out.
Bottle and Can Recycling
You can help local youth in need and do your spring cleaning at the same time. When you return your bottles and cans for refunds you can help the Caring and Mission Ministry Team support the Local Youth Initiative. This supports the nurses’ emergency funds for local student in need at the Trumansburg and South Seneca Schools. Return your bottles and cans to:
1. The T-burg Shur-Save recycling and take the paper receipts to the service desk and have them put it in the Presbyterian local you initiative pouch… or
2. The Trumansburg Redemption Center (it has just reopened) on Main Street next to the Post Office. Tell them to put the money in the Presbyterian “jar” and they will sort the bottles and cans for you.
Thank you for your past and continuing support!
