Third Sunday in Lent
We return to the Old Testament this week. We'll read Isaiah 55:1-9, a wonderful text full of comfort and assurance. We'll focus in on the part of that text that says, "Seek the Lord while he may be found." It is hard for us to imagine a time when we can't turn to God. The Good News is there is no such time. God reminds us that his ways are not our ways, so whatever we might think about who is worthy of God's grace and who is not simply do not apply. The opening promises of this text which talk about buying and eating even when we have no money show us how much different God's thoughts are than ours . I look forward to exploring these ideas with you in worship.
Evening Prayers will not meet this Sunday. Bob will be in Hattiesburg participating in the Meistersingers' concert at 3 pm at Westminster Presbyterian Church. Everyone's welcome. We'll resume Evening Prayers on March 31.
Remember our reflections on spirituals on Wednesdays after supper. We gather at 6 pm. This week we'll be thinking about the spiritual, "O Mary, Don't You Weep." We all know that weeping is a part of life, but we also claim the assurance that it will not last forever. Everyone's welcome at supper and at the study time afterwards.
Join us as we continue our Lenten journey.
