Journey To The Holy Land

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to walk in the footsteps of Christ? Have you thought what it would be like to visit the most sacred places on earth – hallowed sites where He breathed the air and felt the warmth of the sun? Remember that there is still time to enter to win a dream-come-true trip to the Holy Land. It’s a breath-taking experience, a journey that will give you a lifetime of cherished memories. And don’t forget to let your friends and family know about this wonderful opportunity. In this edition of Morningstar Monitor we will highlight Day 5 of the Holy Land trip.

Highlights of this remarkable journey include an exciting boat ride across the Sea of Galilee; a gathering on the Mount of Beautitudes to read the Sermon on the Mount; a pilgrimage to Bethlehem, birthplace of Jesus, to visit the Church of the Nativity; a drive to the Valley of Elah where David fought Goliath; and so much more!

Peace be with you,

P.S. Please share your Lenten sacrifices by emailing our bulletin board with ideas about what you will be giving up and why. This year, I have given up salt so that each time I automatically reach for the salt shaker (which will be often I assure you) I will be reminded of Christ's love and sacrifices for us all.

Preparing For the Lenten Season
Through Christ’s Love
 

Many Christians around the world are preparing for the Lenten season leading up to the Holy Easter Sunday. This Lenten season represents Jesus’ time in the desert; although different churches calculate the days in varying ways, most Christians believe in a time frame of 40 days. The common traditions and religious observations among Christians have remained true for centuries: self-examination, prayer, self-denial, fasting and meditating on God’s Holy word. The purpose of Lent is for Christians to pray, reflect and prepare for the death of the Lord, the events surrounding the Passion of Christ, and finally, the resurrection of Christ in the celebration of Easter. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and goes until Holy Saturday; each Sunday in this period is considered a celebration of Jesus’ victory over sin and death... [Read More]

The History of St. Patrick’s Day
Celebrating the Green

St. Patrick is believed to have driven the snakes from Ireland and is considered to be one of Christianity's most widely known figures today. The holiday is based on the Christian saint’s feast and is believed to be the day of St. Patrick’s death. The Irish have observed this religious holiday for thousands of years. In the early 1700’s, Irish immigrants in Boston started to observe March 17th as St. Patrick’s Day and held parades and celebrated with special meals. St. Patrick’s Day occurs during the Lenten season, so families would attend church services in the morning, and then enjoy a festival at night. Christians were not allowed to eat meat during this season, but there was a waiver for the holiday and Irish Christian families would drink, listen to music, dance and enjoy a meal of corned beef and cabbage. Up until the 1970’s, St. Patrick’s Day was considered to be such a special religious holiday that in Ireland, all pubs were closed on the holiday...[Read More]

OUR CHARITABLE COMMITMENT

 
Morningstar Collection is a benevolent company with deep feelings for all humanity. We feel it is our responsibility to share our proceeds with qualified charities that support those in need, especially children. Therefore, a portion of the proceeds from every single sale is donated to charity. Thank you for helping us to spread the endless love of Jesus to those who need it the most. This week we would like to tell you a little more about a very special charity we are proud to contribute to, The Global Hunger Project. 

The Global Hunger Project is a global, strategic organization committed to the sustainable end of world hunger. In Africa, Asia and Latin America, the Hunger Project has the stated intent of empowering grassroots people to achieve lasting progress in health, education, nutrition and family income. The Hunger Project started in 1977 as one of many hunger-related organizations founded in the wake of the first World Food Conference in Rome. That conference discussed for the first time the notion of "ending" hunger (rather than alleviating hunger). Many expressed frustration that conventional approaches and conventional thinking did not suffice to meet the challenge. The Hunger Project sees itself as "designed to challenge conventional thinking, and pioneer strategies which could address the root causes that gave rise to wide-spread hunger and poverty."
