Holy Week 2023

During this final week of Lent we continue to search for a revolution of love, a revolution that will bring the kingdom of God to earth in a transcendental way. As we enter the story and find ourselves at the cross as we recognize ways in which we have mocked, contributed to suffering, or been a mere bystander to the love of Jesus.

April 3-7: Holy Week Services in the Sanctuary at 11am

Monday - Jesus Clears the Temple: Mark 11:12-19

Tuesday - Jesus confronts Jewish leaders: Mark 11:27-13:37

Wednesday - Jesus fellowships in Bethany with disciples: Mark 14:1-11

Thursday - Last supper, Jesus is betrayed & arrested: Mark 14:43-52

Friday - Jesus is disowned, tried, crucified and buried: Mark 14:66-15:47

We are so excited for Stone River to partner with the efforts of JePau Outreach Ministries at Solomon Temple by supporting Hunger Relief Ministry every third Saturday.

The folks at Solomon Temple work at this ministry rain or shine every Saturday and have been for many years! They are thrilled to have us come along side and believe that we are all "better together"! Please feel free to go help any Saturday. We will be going as a group once a month every third Saturday to start. Our next Saturday to go together as a group from Stone River will be March 18

Stone River has implemented a new way to stay connected in prayer with our church family. A page on the Echo prayer app has been created to easily share concerns and pray for our church! If you download the app, you will be able to follow The Church at Stone River Feed and see all of the concerns of our church members that we would like to lift up in prayer. You can interact with the prayers listed on the Feed or you can submit your own prayer requests by emailing them to echo@churchatstoneriver.com

As you share your prayer concerns, please…

- Have the direct party’s permission to share the situation with the church

- Specify if you would like to share with just the pastoral staff or the whole church

- Only share the information you feel comfortable spreading with others

We pray that by launching our Echo Prayer Ministry we may fulfill this image of our prayers being spread and echoed by our church family around us.

Trade-Fair Marketplace is at Stone River from 9-12:30pm in the Fellowship Hall

Upcoming dates:

April 1 (Stone River's Art Festival, Springapalooza)

May 7

Trade Fair Marketplace the first and only nonprofit fair trade enterprise in Alabama. Our retail store sells unique handcrafted items from more than 30 developing nations around the world. Each item is handmade by artisans (many are women who belong to fair trade cooperatives) using natural materials, reflecting the countries in which they were made. Fair living wages are paid directly to the artisans, allowing them to obtain basic needs for themselves and their families including food, healthcare and education. Our sole mission is to help eradicate poverty by promoting the economic progress of people in these developing countries. We give all profits from our sales back to organizations that share our same vision. Since our beginning, we have donated over $250,000 to 40 organizations such as Bead for Life, Living Waters, Dining for Women, Amazima, Ghana Relief, Women's Bean Project, The Fistula Foundation, Friends of Refugees and Kiva (micro-loan projects).
