M ARK ’S MUSINGS I recently visited an Episcopal church in our Diocese that had aplaque over the inside the narthex door that said, "You are now entering the mission field." What a wonderful reminder of our call

as Christians to serve others.

Every Sunday we are fed at the Lord's Table and out of thatfeeding we are called to feed others. March 3 - March 10 a team of missionaries from our parish, coupled with missionaries from St. James and Church of the Servant, will trek down to Alabama. Thisis our fourth adult mission in as many years: Dominican Republic2009 & 2011, New Orleans Katrina Rebuild 2010 and Alabama

Tornado Rebuild 2012.

Many of us are called to serve in these types of settings. Some of us would like to serve but cannot due to varying circumstances. It isimportant to know that all Christians are called to the mission fieldand that you can serve God in some way, shape or form. Perhaps you are able to serve God with a few hours locally at Inner City Ministries, Good Shepherd, or a Habitat Project. Maybe you have a

conversation with someone who is struggling. Holding people in your prayers is also a wonderful way to serve God.

Being a missionary not only encompasses journeying to a faraway place, it encompasses the understanding that all around you is amission field. We serve in many and varied ways bringing God'sKingdom here on earth. As our Lord made the ultimate sacrifice forus on the cross, we are called to make sacrifices in our lives to serve

Him and His people.

Blessings,Mark Powell

OUR COLORFUL CHURCH YEAR From Christmas white to Easter white with green,purple, and red in between we have a very colorfulchurch year!

White is used at both Christmas and Easter. It is thecolor of joy, victory, celebrations, and peace. White isalso used at funerals as we celebrate the person’s

passage into the Kingdom of God.Green is seen everywhere in plants and trees, andsymbolizes life and hope. Green also reflects our ownspiritual growth.

Red is the color of fire, energy, and power like thecoming of the Holy Spirit and is used on Pentecostand at Confirmation. Red is also used on PalmSunday to symbolize Jesus’ powerful entry into Jerusalem and his death that is to come.

Purple is the color of humility, penance and wisdomthat comes from inward reflections. Purple helps us toremember that we are preparing for the coming of Christ so we use purple in Advent. We also usepurple in Lent to show the season of penance andrenewal.

When you enter the sanctuary and look at the altar,note the colors and reflect on their meaning as part of your worship experience.

PRESCHOOL NEWS We are busy at preschool and very happy to have so much wonderful weather during our outside time. The 4 year old class haspurchased bird feeders and are excited to see them eating right out-

side their window. The 3 year old class had one of the best daysever as they learned about the letter "P".

They wore their pajamas, ate pancakes, pineapple and popcorn while watching "Pongo" (a movie). How fun to come to school in your PJ's!

The 1 and 2 year old classes continue to grow and flourish each

week. We are so proud of them and how well they are followingdirections.

Love and blessings,Catharine Hedrick

EPISCOPAL Y OUTH COMMUNITY

It is hard to believe it is already March; hopefully, great weather is soon to be here, that is if we beat Punxsutawney

Phil’s prediction.

February was busy with our lock-in, local outreach projects,Pancake Dinner, and discussions about Lent and how we canbest support the “Sound Future” campaign.

We had 20 youth attend our lock-in at First Baptist Activity Center, where basketball, ping-pong, video games, movies,

pizza, and above all a lot of energy and laughs made the nightmemorable. The lock-in would not have happened withoutthe support of our chaperones: Ray Borges, Rich Carpenterand Claire Reddick. Thank you!

February was not all fun and games, we were fortunate to beable to participate in a few outreach projects. On Feb. 12, wesent a group to New Hanover Regional Medical Center’s

Betty Cameron Women and Children’s Center, where we were able to visit sick youth and their families as well as helprestock and clean their recreation room. This was a very eye-opening experience and touched many of our hearts. We will have another group going March 2.

While some of us were at the hospital, the rest of us wroteletters and baked brownies for Marines with 2nd Marine

Special Operations Battalion, from Camp Lejeune, andcurrently serving in Afghanistan. What an experience that was, making homemade “desert brownies” in the church’skitchen. Thank you to Anne Randall, who is our EYC baker,and helped walk us through using the kitchen.

We wrapped up February with the Pancake Dinner, which isalways a fun event for us, and look forward to some of theLent events and participating in “Sound Future.”

This month is full with youth conferences. Our middle schoolstudents will be attending New Beginnings, March 2-4, at Trinity Center in Pine Knoll Shores, NC, where our very own

Nathanial Hanson will be the Shepherd and Emily Summerlina staff leader.

A few of our high school youth will return to Happening, at Trinity Center, March 16-18. Trey Carraway, Cody Riemanand Lauren Hedrick will all be on staff, while the rest of usparticipate in Inner City Ministries, March 18.
