Series: The Fruit of the Spirit
Sermon: Goodness (Generosity)
Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and selfcontrol. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 6:7-10
Don’t be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a
person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants
selfishness, ignoring the needs of others—ignoring God!—
harvests a crop of weeds. All he’ll have to show for his life is
weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting
God’s Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of
real life, eternal life.
So let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At
the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give
up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the
chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the
people closest to us in the community of faith.
“Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all
the ways you can.
In all the places you can. At all the times you can.
To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.”
John Wesley

For God’s Children…
We welcome the little ones as gifts from God. They can stay with you in
worship, or be taken to the nursery at anytime, if you prefer.

On Saturdays, children stay in worship until after Children’s Time, then go back to Tidepool. On Sundays,
children should be taken back to Tidepool immediately upon arriving. Towards the end of service the
teachers will bring the children into worship for a message and then they will be dismissed to their parents.

“The Compass” Keeping Our Course in Faith March 2014
March: “In like a lion and out like a lamb”
As I sit here just thirty-six hours before we turn our calendars to the month of March, the weather outside
is two degrees below zero with a wind chill at minus twenty-five! This is the twenty-sixth day this winter with
temperatures at zero or below. The previous five winters had just seventeen combined! If ever a March has
roared in like a lion, this is it. The question is how far away is the lamb? Although this winter has been brutal
we have a promise that one day (hopefully soon) the snow will melt, the grass will grow, flowers will bloom, and
golfers will golf.
As we enter into the season of Lent this March we need to focus on the Lamb. Thirty-one times in the New
Testament Jesus is referred to as a lamb, the “Paschal Lamb”. Each year at Passover, a perfect lamb without
blemish would be sacrificed at the temple on behalf of all of the Jews. The crucifixion of Jesus was the
sacrifice to end all sacrifices. We now have direct access to God. Lent is the period of forty days leading up
to the Celebration of Easter (Easter is April 20th this year; I wonder what the temperature will be on that
day?). Christians have used these forty days for self-reflection about the state of our souls and the need of a
relationship with the Lamb.
So whether March thirty-first in seventy degrees or seven, the Lamb will be there! Let’s make good use of
these days. May March find us celebrating the spiritual disciplines that help keep us in relationship with our
Savior.

How to Sign Up for Health Coverage…by 3/31!
There are 4 basic ways to apply for health coverage thru the Marketplace:
1. Apply online: Visit www.HealthCare.gov to get started.
2. Apply by phone: Call 1-800-318-2596 to apply and enroll over the phone TTY 1-800-889-4325
3. Apply in person: Visit a counselor in your community to get information and apply in person. Find help in your area at
LocalHelp.HealthCare.gov . Aurora Health Care has Marketplace education and enrollment sessions. Call the AHC helpline
1-877-732-6334.
4. Apply by mail. Complete a paper application form and instructions from HealthCare.gov.
Have the following information available before enrolling: e-mail address, social security #, income information (W2 or
pay stub for each member of the household needing coverage), policy numbers for current health insurance plans, info.
from the employer if anyone in the household is eligible for insurance through their job.
Deadline for enrollment is March 31, 2014. If you currently have no health insurance and you fail to enroll through the
Affordable Care Act (ACA) by March 31st, 2014, expect to pay a penalty fee called an “individual responsibility payment”

not be allowed to quickly enroll in hindsight of the high medical bills. You will not be eligible for new enrollment in the
health insurance Marketplace until the proposed 2015 open enrollment period of Nov 15, 2014 through Jan 15, 2015.
If you need help NOW with enrollment in the new Affordable Care Act health insurance Marketplace, your Parish Nurse
