HEALING TREE Over the course of the season of Lent this year, we are going to be hanging "Moments of Healing" on the tree.  Green leaves will be available for those who want to write down something that they did this week that had an element of "healing" to it - called an old friend, re-establishing a broken relationship, forgiving an old hurt, something like that.  The tree is "dead" - the green leaves will bring it to new "life" one bud at a time!  These are our prayers for healing in our world as a whole.
