Grace and peace to you, from God our Creator and the Lord Jesus Christ! Tomorrow is the last Sunday before we enter the season of Lent, and I want to be sure you all know that you are invited to worship together on Wednesday evening at 7:00 (not at 5:00 as previously noted!) in the sanctuary. While there is the option for everyone to participate in the imposition of ashes, this is by no means required. In all, we begin preparing ourselves, recognizing our wildnerness places and praying for strength to endure.
This strength may also be wrought in our service tomorrow, in which we celebrate the sacrament of Communion. Folks at home may join by preparing the gifts of field and fruit, as well (cracker and juice, for example). In our focus on the Word that gives us hope, we continue to recognize the mysteries of our faith. Our scripture lessons discuss quite directly the distance between our human understanding and God’s reality, and also the way that God sometimes opens for us a means of understanding–a vision of God’s possibilities. On this “Transfiguration Sunday,” we welcome the new paths, the new visions, the new life made possible when we choose the way of love Jesus has taught us.
Blessings and peace, Lisa
Worship at Home Materials: We will be offering worship in-person as well as on Zoom this coming Sunday. Coffee & tea are available after the church service. Masks are suggested in the sanctuary and required during the singing of hymns, as the virus spreads most easily with the projection of droplets.
