Men's Bible Study
DEUTERONOMY: COVENANTAL LOVE OF GOD AND NEIGHBOR
The Men's Bible Study begins meeting again on February 17 at
7 PM. The group will study the book of Deuteronomy.
Goals for the study of Deuteronomy include:
A. Learning about the history of the book and its importance within the Bible and Judaism.
B. Listening for the word of God for us today.
C. Opening our minds and hearts to be confronted by the warnings and issues Deuteronomy calls us to face.
D. Opening our imaginations to envision the world through categories of covenant, love, justice, neighbor, and the God of Israel.
E. Seeking faithful ways of enacting the vision of covenantal love of God and neighbor in our real lives.
All men are invited to join the group. Speak to Pastor Coffey if you have any questions.

Grain & Grape | Pub Theology
On the first Wednesday of the month, we gather at Home Sweet Farm to raise a glass and read deeper into a Bible story. We ask a lot of questions, we learn more about the historical context of Jesus’s life, and we always end up learning more about our lives too. Come join us at 7:30pm to be a part of this monthly gathering. All are welcome!

Fill the Basket
The Social Concerns Committee challenges you to fill our “Big Baskets” with donated items. You can find these baskets located in the narthex of the church as well as the fellowship hall. Each month there will be a different cause to donate to.
The Social Concerns committee would once again like to thank the congregation for their support of the Fill the Basket project for Brenham Middle School toiletries for students. Your gifts of Toothbrushes, Toothpaste and Deodorant will make a big difference in the lives of these young students as they prepare themselves for school each day.
The focus of Fill the Basket for March will be soap for Lutheran World Relief Personal Care Kits. Floods in North Carolina, fires in California, refugees in Gaza and Ukraine and severe drought and wars in Africa, wherever disaster strikes Lutheran World Relief is there to bring Personal Care Kits, Quilts and other items to those in need. Last year 127,621 Personal Care kits containing a bath towel, toothbrush, nail clippers, combs and soap were distributed to individuals faced with unbelievable heartbreaking tragedies. This year we are setting a goal of 800 kits which will be assembled this spring. To meet this goal we will need 1600 bars of soap. You can bring soap to Fill the Baskets in the narthex or Fellowship Hall or make a donation to St. Paul’s with a notation that it is for Lutheran World Relief kits and turn it into the office. Your generosity in the past is a testament to your faith and belief that we all have a responsibility to help our neighbors in need.
March – 4 oz. Bath size bars of Soap
April - Diapers for Child Protective Services
May – Brenham Faith Mission
Thank you again for supporting these worthy projects and helping your neighbors in need!
We challenge you to fill the baskets!
Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. Matthew 25: (40)
