Lent 2021
As Jesus and his disciples traveled along
the road, someone said to him,
“I will follow you wherever you go.”
– Luke 9:57 (CEB)
It feels strange for me to be planning for Lent. In some ways, I
feel time has stood still since March 12 of last year when we
made the decision to stop meeting in person. We were only in
the second week of Lent then. Even as we planned to go virtu-
al with our Sunday worship, we were exploring in parallel op-
tions for Easter if Tudor Oaks had not reopened.

Two Ways to Reflect During Lent
A Devotional Booklet
Daily Devotional Cards
As we enter Lent, we are offering two different ways to do some spiritual, scriptural re-
flection.
A Devotional Booklet will be available to you on line. You are welcome to use it online
or print it out for your home use. For each week of Lent, there are two offerings to con-
sider:
Poetry Prayer – A Scripture – A Commentary
Art – A Scripture – A Reflection
A set of Daily Devotional Cards are being mailed to each household in the congrega-
tion. The cards will come printed on perforated paper so it will be easy to separate them
and have them available for daily use.
The front of the card has a word and a scripture on it.
The back has some reflections questions and a prayer.
Select a card each day, consider the word, read the scripture, consider the reflection
questions and the prayer.
No formal pairing of folks to share their reflections is being organized (like was done
with Advent Buddies) but you are welcome to connect with someone and share your re-
flections. Or bring a word to Coffee Time and share a bit of what was meaningful to
you.
No matter which resources you choose to use, may your Lenten Journey be enriched.

Emmanuel Acho Videos:
“Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man”
On 1/31/21, 18 people from Heritage came together during a Zoom coffee hour to watch
Episode 1 of Emmanuel Acho's YouTube videos "Uncomfortable Conversations with a
Black Man." The Mission Council hosted our own conversation after the video as a way
to continue our education on racism in America. We learned that white people need to
be educated in order to know the full level of pain of our black friends and neighbors.
Becoming educated helps us understand what has been happening in our country
through peaceful protests, rioting and the Black Lives Matter movement.
You are invited to watch any of Acho's YouTube episodes independently. They are gen-
erally short (about 12 minutes), and cover many different topics with famous
guests. Or, you can check upcoming Heritage E-news for times to watch an episode
together followed by a time of sharing our own reactions to the topic covered.
Try copying and pasting the link below into your browser. Or, just google YouTube Un-
comfortable Conversations with a Black Man to pull up the episodes.
Emmanual Acho also has a book by the same title if you want to delve a little deeper in-
to the topic.

One Great Hour of Sharing 2021
In a world of disaster, hunger, and oppression,
millions of people lack access to sustainable food sources,
clean water, sanitation, education, and
opportunity.
The three programs supported by One Great Hour of Sharing - Presbyterian
Disaster Assistance, the Presbyterian Hunger Program, and Self-Development of
People - all work in different ways to serve individuals and communities in need.
From initial disaster response to ongoing community development, their work fits
together to provide people with safety, sustenance, and hope.
We will dedicate our One Great Hour of Sharing offering on Palm Sunday, March 28.
Please give generously.
