		<title>Get Connected Wednesday: Church Volunteer Central</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Wednesdays we will often key in how you can excel in service and in your participation in community at your local church. If we believe that we are all a part of the Body of Christ and everyone has an important role to play in the Church, then you can&#8217;t sit on the sidelines.
For church leadership, there are resources to engage folks in your congregation to get plugged in. It&#8217;s not about filling up gaps in the work with &#8220;warm bodies,&#8221; but its all about facilitating spiritual growth and ...]]></description>

		<title>Church of the week: McLane Church-Erie &#8220;Church-in-a-Bar&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Typically on Mondays here on TheChristianBanner.com we will feature our own conversation with a church leader about what God is doing in their local church. But given the highly unusual and excellent feature this weekend on McLane Church&#8217;s Erie site, named &#8220;Church-in-a-Bar&#8221; by the Erie Times-News, we thought we&#8217;d just point you over toward that direction.
Reporter Valerie Myers and Photographer/Videographer Rob Engelhardt captured the vision and passion of this most unique church, which Site Pastor Andy Kerr leads, meeting at the Cell Block bar at 1213 State Street, Erie on ...]]></description>

Here&#8217;s an explanation of Ash Wednesday from Catholic.org:
Following the example of the Nine vites, who did penance in sackcloth and ashes, our foreheads are marked with ashes to humble our hearts and reminds us that life passes away on Earth. We remember this when we are told&#8221;Remember, Man is dust, and unto dust you shall return.&#8221;
