Do Not Fear the Ides of March

Talk about a noteworthy weekend slate of events . . . consider the following menu of opportunities for the coming Saturday and Sunday:

1. "The Ides of March" The middle of the month, occurring this Saturday the 15th. Carol and Cameron invite you join us for a fun, food, and fellowship gathering starting at 6 pm. RSVP

2. "Palm Sunday" The commemoration of the Triumphal Entry of Christ into Jerusalem just days prior to His week-long teaching, challenging and suffering time. Sunday the 16th.

3. "St. Patrick's Day" A much storied and lively celebration of the patron saint of Ireland. Folks around the world take this opportunity to . . . well, let's just say celebrate. Wonder what Paddy would think of it all? Maybe other saints are turning green with envy!

Caitlin Springs would like you to know about a musical offering this weekend too:
The Catawba College Singers and Madrigals have a big concert at 6 p.m. this Sunday, March 16, in our chapel on campus. Meggie, Zach, and I will all be singing. We just got back this past Thursday from an 8-day choir tour. We sang at churches in SC, FL, and GA and got a wonderful response from each of the congregations. I really like the music that we are singing and would love if any of my Still Waters family could make it.

Enjoy your week, everyone. This just might be an excellent time to reflect upon the Christ as He navigated the final week on earth prior to the Crucifixion and Resurrection. It's in a great little book titled the Bible. (you knew that) The Gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are excellent sources for information and inspiration on the matter, so consult them soon.

God's best to each of you.
