Lent Madness is a fun way to learn how people have used their faith in the world. Go to the website each day to read about the two saints who are paired against each other, and vote. Watch your favorites advance through the bracket (or go down in stunning defeat). And follow the bracket on the main bulletin board at St. Andrew's.

Helping Others
Be sure to pick up a mite box at church, so that you may support our Lenten offering for school lunches in Haiti. Each week a new thanksgiving prompt will be offered in the e-News, in the Sunday bulletin, and here. For the week of March 2, we think about housing.
Think about it: 77% of Haitians are living at the poverty line. The earthquake in 2010 damaged 190,000 homes. There were 2 million people who survived the earthquake and were displaced.
Pray about it: Thank God for your home, and for things you have in your home, placing a coin in your mite box for each thing you name. Pray for those whose basic housing needs are not met.
