March into Holy Week with Christ at Henderson Presbyterian Church
Yes, Easter is very early this year, and Preacher Doyel hopes you can attend some of the services in Lent. Ever wonder why Easter is sometimes way into Spring or sometimes almost in Winter? Easter can fall between March 22 and April 25. Why the difference? Some holidays are always on the same date, such as Christmas on December 25. Some are always on the same day, such as Thanksgiving is always on the 4th Thursday in November, but the date changes. Not Easter. It is a "moving Sunday," based on the moon.
Easter, the day of days and the glory of the Christian faith, is observed, according to a decision made by the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325, on the first Sunday after the date of the first full moon that occurs on or after March 21. Easter therefore, always falls between March 22 and April 25. Three-fourths of the church calendar is determined by the date of Easter, and Christianity has little meaning apart from the significance which Easter represents. The color for the communion table, lectern, and pulpit is white. White is the color for the Easter observance signifying purity, light, rejoicing, the sacred redeeming love of God.

Preacher Doyel will preach about a harsh subject, but one that is very real and DID happen. This is the Crucifixion. No jokes this day, just a journey into Lent for all of us before the Easter dawn. Please read Mark 15:21-39. Communion will be moved from this Sunday to Easter Sunday.

Christian Education News My name is Jan Pratt and I am your new Christian Education Chair person. With the grace of God and the help of you, the congregation, I hope to spread the Good News of the Gospel to our Youth and Adults. My vision is to have our Youth population grow which will hopefully bring their parents. I would like to have activities for the Junior and Senior High School students such as HIKING, BOWLING, BBQ's, and SWIM PARTIES, ETC. We will be having Vacation Bible School as usual. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated and would be discussed with Rev. Doyel and session. I thank you for allowing me to service this Congregation and will do my best to listen and create the type of education you will be proud of. PS: I need a volunteer to teach the K thru 5th grade for the following Sundays: MARCH 9, APRIL 6, MAY 4, AND MAY 25. Jan Pratt Confirmation Classes will be starting after Easter. Please see Jan Pratt or the Pastor if you or your child are interested in attending these classes. You must be finishing the 6th grade or older. Adults are also welcome to attend.

Nutrition: Know the Facts Taken from: For National Nutrition Month® 2008 Nutrition: It’s a Matter of Fact, www.eatright.org.
The month of March is National Nutrition Month®. Even though March has been chosen, the messages of nutrition month should be carried through the entire year. National Nutrition Month® (NNM) is a nutrition education and information campaign sponsored annually by the American Dietetic Association (ADA). The campaign is designed to focus on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.
This year, the ADA urges consumers to look beyond the myths of nutrition and focus on the facts. In fact, the theme for 2008 is Nutrition: It’s a Matter of Fact.
1) Eating right doesn't have to be complicated. Use www.MyPyramid.gov to develop a personalized plan for lifelong health.
2) The best nutrition advice is based on science. Before adopting any changes to your diet, be sure the information is based in scientific fact.
4) Balancing physical activity and a healthful diet is your best recipe for managing weight and promoting overall health and fitness. 5) Think nutrient-rich rather than "good" or "bad" foods. The majority of your food choices should be packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other healthful nutrients — and lower in calories. |
6) Look at the big picture: No single food or meal makes or breaks a healthful diet. Your total diet is the most important focus for healthful eating. 7) Prepare, handle, and store food properly to keep you and your family safe from food-borne illness. 8) Don’t fall prey to food myths and misinformation that may harm rather than benefit your health. 9) Read food labels to get nutrition facts that help you make smart food choices quickly and easily. 10) Find the healthy fats when making food choices. By choosing polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fats, you can keep your saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol low.
