March 3 Worship: Communion/Mardi Gras Sunday Scriptures: Exodus 34:29-35; Psalm 99; 2 Corinthians 3:12-4:2; Luke 9:28-36 Sermon: “Living in Glory” Pascal wrote, “keep something beautiful in mind.” Beauty is one way to understand God’s glory. We are called to open our eyes to the beauty that is all around us. As we prepare to begin our Lenten journey on Ash Wednesday, let’s take time to uncover and appreciate that glory!
Ash Wednesday Worship Service Wednesday, March 6th 6:00 p.m. Potluck 7:00 p.m. Worship service Sermon: “Finding Your Life: Listening Deeply” As we prepare for our 40 day journey of Lent, we “turn around” (the root meaning of the word “repent”) from the distractions of daily noise and focus our attention on listening in a deeper way. We must listen to what our “life” is telling us. During this worship experience, we will share in communion and in the imposition of ashes.
March 10 Worship: First Sunday in Lent Scriptures: Deuteronomy 26:1-11; Psalm 91:1-2, 9-16 Romans 10:8b-13; Luke 4:1-13 Sermon: “Finding Your Cave: Listening Spaces” Sometimes we just need to get away in order to hear from that “still, small voice” within. This quiet voice is an attribute of the Holy Living God, as Elijah found out in a cave. What is your “cave” equivalent? What place and practice helps you get quiet enough for long enough so you can hear past the chaos and into the depths of your life?
March 17 Worship: Second Sunday in Lent Scriptures: Genesis 15:1-12; Psalm 27; Philippians 3:17-4:1; Luke 13:31-35 Sermon: “Finding Your Breath: Listening to our Bodies” Our sacred texts connect the breath of God with our own aliveness– God blew breath into us at creation and we continue to breathe all of creation in and out of our bodies constantly. The early church also believed that breath and the Spirit were one and the same. When we embrace our bodies as the holy vessel of God, we become even more aware of our True Selves.
March 24 Worship: Third Sunday in Lent Scriptures: Isaiah 55:1-9; Psalm 63:1-8; 1 Corinthians 10:1-13; Luke 13:1-9 Sermon: “Finding a Word: Listening to the Texts”
March 31 Worship: Fourth Sunday in Lent Scriptures: Joshua 5:9-12; Psalm 32; 2 Corinthians 5:16-21; Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 Sermon: “Finding Your Power: Listening for Healing”
