REFLECTIONS ON ASH WEDNESDAY
On February 22, Tracy expressed her thoughts through a Facebook Live stream.
For many Ash Wednesday is the beginning of a season of fasting. This is a spiritual practice that gives space to being with God in new and different ways. The purpose of giving something up for these 40 days is more about the heart than the giving up of something. How will giving up this ‘thing’ allow me more intentional time with the Father. Will my fast give me more space to be with the Father and met the real longings of my heart? David reminds us of this in Psalm 51:10-12
"Create in me a pure heart, O God and renew a steadfast spirit in me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me.”
PRAYER AND WORSHIP
Centre 150 is open Thursdays, from 9:00-12:00 pm as a special space for spending time with the Lord. From 9:00-10:00 am we will have a time of interactive prayer and live worship. From 10:00 - Noon we will have music only.
THE TABLE // A PLACE FOR WOMEN
The Table is a monthly event for island women, aimed at inspiring whole-hearted life with God through worship, teaching, and connection. It will be held on March 3rd at Centre 150, Summerside, PE, from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. This ministry welcomes women of all ages (18+), backgrounds, and faiths.

UPCOMING IHTC WORKSHOPS
Bearing another’s burdens in an unhealthy way is sometimes called “Burden Bearing.” It is also known as “Empathy Overload.” Another closely related descriptor is “Compassion Fatigue.”
While caring for others is positive, one can over-function and become overwhelmed by other people’s distress. This drains one’s energy often resulting in fatigue, burnout, depression, and physical illness.
This workshop will help you gain insight into your own personality and over-functioning tendencies, and their roots, and will offer real solutions to developing more healthy compassion.
Teacher: Shirley FergusonDates: Tuesdays, April 11 & 18, 2023, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pmVenue: Victoria Schoolhouse, 730 Victoria Road, Victoria-by-the-Sea, PEI

No one is without some wounding from rejection. When repeatedly rejected at any stage of our life we can be wounded and form a distorted image of who we are. In our spirit, mind and emotions we believe a lie that can be the root of our social and relational problems.
In this workshop we explore and call on the Holy Spirit to reveal the bad roots and ask God to cut off the roots of rejection. We then invite God’s love and acceptance into each area of wounding.
Each teaching will be followed by the ministry of Holy Spirit inviting Him to bring revelation and healing.
'Bad root brings bad fruit,' thus the need for God’s revelation to reveal what root was formed.

On Wednesday, Chesley had an appointment with the surgeon and received encouraging news. He was pleased with Chesley's progress and said that in another two weeks, he can try weight-bearing without a cast, which is fantastic! He will likely have to wear the boot for some time. He’s going to physio twice a week and working very hard. He’s determined to get moving. Their family is doing well, the kids are such troopers and a great help.
