This Week at PCWS
Join us for Theology & Brew, the continuation of our Jonah @NIGHT series, our annual Spaghetti Dinner and Sunday Worship.
So on Tuesday you braved the crowds to check out the new Mariano’s on its opening day. There was work and school, errands and appointments. Dinner to be made and homework to be supervised. More snow on the way (seriously?!)…lots of things to keep your mind spinning and body busy carrying you through your day. Did some of it pass by in a busy blur? All too often we are so caught up in our daily tasks and “to do list” that we ignore the world around us and forget to make meaningful connections with others.
In a Lenten devotional this week, PCWS Associate Pastor Matthew Schmidt invites us to focus on what attracts our attention. What are we focused on in our busy lives? What motivates us? Take some time to think about how you can pay attention to yourself, your loved ones, your neighbors and God in balanced and healthy ways. Our Jonah @NIGHT series continues this Friday, March 14, at 7pm at the Presbyterian Church of Western Springs. Please join us for a deconstructed Bible study that uses provocative storytelling, hands-on activities and small group discussion to help people of all ages learn about the Bible. Jonah @NIGHT meets every Friday in Lent at 7pm at PCWS. All are welcome and you don’t have to attend the whole series. Come when you can and join us for interesting discussion and another way to support a meaningful journey through Lent. Questions? Check the PCWS contact info below for how to reach us.
In addition to Jonah @NIGHT, there are several other interesting and exciting things happening in the life of the Presbyterian Church of Western Springs this week. Here we go:
