On-Line Lenten Devotionals
Following are a selection of daily Lenten devotional that can be accessed online. You may wish to explore each of them and then decide on one that you’ll use each day, or perhaps one in the morning and one in the evening.
May you create a daily Lenten rhythm that brings you life, reflection, peace, intimacy with God.

HBC Gathers $3097.45 To Date for Medical Supplies to Haiti

HBC will use its special offerings to aid Supplies Overseas (SOS) send truckloads of medical supplies to Haiti in the coming days and weeks. An offering was gathered on Friday and Sunday. Members may continue to give through the website (click Giving at the top) or through our regular offering collection in services.
SOS is run by HBC's Allen Montgomery. Here is Monday's Courier Journal story on their operation. Our thanks and blessings to Ronnie Gilbert and others who had the foresight to organize refreshments for the many SOS volunteers!
Text from Carolyn Winfrey Gillette's new hymn, "In Haiti, There is Anguish"

Crosses on the lawn
Every year for the last 13 years, Highland Baptist Church has placed a cross in the front lawn for every person who has died due to violence in our community. We have done this in solidarity for all those who grieve and all who have been effected by these acts. But we also do this to say that God is not done in this world. For more about this second day in Advent where we actively seek Peace:
