FEBRUARY…Valentine’s Day, President’s Day, and the beginning of LENT with Ash Wednesday on February 13th. Lent is a penitential time for Christians as we prepare for the most important events in Jesus ministry- what he did for us on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. It has traditionally been a time for Christians to wrestle with what to "give up" or what to "take on" during this season.. Here are some valuable suggestions you might consider this Lent.
U Give up grumbling! Instead, "In everything give thanks."
U Give up ten to fifteen minutes in bed! Instead, use that time in prayer, Bible study, and personal devotion.
UGive up looking at other people's worst points. Instead concentrate on their best points.
UGive up speaking unkindly. Instead, let your speech be generous and understanding.
UGive up your hatred of anyone or anything! Instead, learn the discipline of love.
UGive up your worries and anxieties! Instead, trust God with them. Live today and let God's grace be sufficient.
UGive up television one evening a week! Instead, visit some lonely or sick person. Give someone a precious gift - your time!
UGive up buying anything but essentials for yourself! Instead, give the money to God.
UGive up judging by appearances and by the standard of the world! Instead, learn to give up yourself to God. There is only one who has the right to judge, Jesus Christ. Now aren't you glad you don't have to do that anymore?
May our merciful God guide us on our journey these forty days as we experience spiritual renewal and growth. - Chaplain Clark

A Note From the Property Manager …
I am happy to announce that on March 18th we will begin the renovation of the kitchen located in the lounge. We are very excited to offer this updated amenity to residents of Lutheran Manor Apts. We expect this project to take approximately three weeks. Please be aware of any flyers or notices because some events could be postponed or have their location changed. We will be using the patio and conference room for some scheduled items instead of the lounge. Bingo will be canceled on Monday March 18th and we will post any other changes to bingo, if they occur.
As always, we appreciate your patience and cooperation during our renovations. J
Courtney Doheny
