Our Lenten AppealThis year we hope to raise at least $10,000 through our Lenten Appeal. These funds will be equally distributed in two ways: Connecting Ministries and Sanctuary Mission.

• Connecting ministries are strengthening our witness and helping us live our vision to help people connect with God and with each other.

• Sanctuary Mission will be providing support for immigrants and refu-gees in a variety of ways which will be vital in critical efforts to save lives, keep families together, and achieve justice for our neighbors.

To contribute to the Lenten Special Offering, you may use the Lenten offer-ing envelope found in the pew or go online to foundryumc.org and click on “Give Now” or you may dial Text2Give (202-400-3090) and then text the message #Lent with your amount.

Next Sermon Series: Soul FoodEvery living thing needs sustenance. Without it, life becomes weak, dry and incapable of survival. Sometimes, external conditions create a crisis, mak-ing it difficult to access what is needed to survive. For many people, this moment in our nation’s history has created a very challenging environment. The need to remain awake, vigilant, and responsive in our advocacy and service is exhausting. In order to be faithful, we simply must find ways to nourish our witness, to fuel our activity, to feed body and soul in ways that help us not only survive, but thrive. Over the course of this sermon series, we will explore topics and practices that provide sustenance for both the daily grind and the long haul. Join us for some “Soul Food!”
