“Is this the kind of fast I have chosen,
only a day for a man to humble himself?
Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed
and for lying on sackcloth and ashes?
Is that what you call a fast,
a day acceptable to the Lord?
Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?
Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter –“
Isaiah 58:5-7
Opportunities for Study, Service and Fellowship
Pastor’s Bible Study THIS Tuesday night — All are invited to join as the Pastor’s Study continues this Tuesday night at 6:45-7:45pm in the Fellowship Hall. Don will be discussing the theological essentials of the Fellowship of Presbyterians.
Couponing Class — Join Trish Ruckle on Saturday, February 25th, from 9:00am to 12:00pm in Fellowship Hall as she shares the tricks she has learned to save on groceries and items that you’ll really use. Think “Savvy Shopping with Good Stewardship” rather than “Extreme Couponing.” Please RSVP to office@greenwichpres.org or 703.754.7933, as she hopes to provide you with a starter set of coupons. The class is FREE, no coupon required!
Note From Stewardship — When placing money in the white envelopes for offering, please include your first and last name, as well as an address on the outside of the envelope. This will help us to keep your contribution records accurate. Thanks so much!

They have been a true blessing to Greenwich through their preaching, teaching, involvement in ministry, and prayers these last few months. Please pray for them as they return to the mission field, and pray for the ministry of Farthest Corners as it continues to offer relief, education and the hope of the gospel to those in need in Thailand and Burma. For more information about Farthest Corners visit www.farthestcorners.org and mark your calendars for the Thai Dinner & Auction on Saturday, May 5th.
