Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church

I pray you are being strengthened as you contemplate the resolve of Jesus to be faithful to the calling that he sensed in his spirit.

I will be away from the office for a visioning meeting with Christian Peacemaker Teams during next week.

Tomorrow Sarah Abraham will be our preacher for the Second Sunday of Lent.

The Announcements are copied below and the Worship Schedule for March 2011 is both copied below and attached.

May it go well with you.  Sincerely,
Garland Robertson

New piano  The Kawai piano present in our worship space belonged to Keith Stucky, and has been made available for us by the generous provision of his mother, Milly.  Keith grew up in McPherson KS, attended Bethel College and earned a graduate degree in piano performance at Wichita State University.  He moved to Austin in 1983 as an accompanist and voice coach for University of Texas students.  He purchased the piano after his diagnosis of pancreatic cancer in 2007.
