And if you haven't posted and you have the time, create a slide of your own as a way to stay connected with one another during this time. Volunteer Opportunities Ongoing In the time of COVID, a time of great need and hardship for many people in our cities and communities, it can be really easy to get overwhelmed by the feeling we can't do anything because we must stay isolated and detached from our greater community as much as possible. We wanted to make sure that if you do want to give back, to volunteer, to give time, money or effort, there are still so many organizations that need your help! With everything from cooking dinner for people and food distribution to virtual visits to residents isolated in nursing homes there are so many things you can do! To check out a full list of opportunities in Orange County, visit the United Way COVID-19 Volunteer Needs page. 11 SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT February 28, 2021 Liturgy Hearing God’s Word As we come to God’s Word, may our hearts be fertile ground to receive what God has to say to us this morning.
