Considering the following for new church signs: Vote, if this allows you to DM me, on your favorite:

1. Listen for a still, small voice. God is a personal, comforting presence. 1 Kings 19:11-13.

2. God loves you! Love back! Pay it forward.

3. Open for worship 9-10 Sundays. But God loves you all week.

4. When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. Leviticus 19:33

What is this season of the church year called? See:

United Methodist organize the year into different seasons that reflect the life of Jesus Christ and foundational moments in the early Church. This is known as the Christian year or liturgical calendar.

Holy Saturday…Jan Richardson says it well:

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18Kukgkkyc/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Holy Saturday. This is the day that calls us to breathe. This is the day that invites us to make a space within the weariness, the fear, the ache. This is the day that calls us to hold our anguish and our hope in the same hand. This is the day that beckons us to turn toward one another and to remember we do not breathe alone.

IN THE BREATH, ANOTHER BREATHING
A Blessing for Holy Saturday

Let it be
that on this day
we will expect
no more of ourselves
than to keep
breathing
with the bewildered
cadence
of lungs that will not
give up the ghost.

Let it be
we will expect
little but
the beating of
our heart,
stubborn in
its repeating rhythm
that will not
cease to sound.

Let it be
we will
still ourselves
enough to hear
what may yet
come to echo:
as if in the breath,
another breathing;
as if in the heartbeat,
another heart.

Let it be
we will not
try to fathom
what comes
to meet us
in the stillness
but simply open
to the approach
of a mystery
we hardly dared
to dream.

I bet there are things here that you will learn about Good Friday that you did not know: (don’t let the posting from the old farmers almanac fool you!)

Good Friday marks the day of the Crucifixion during Holy Week. Learn its meaning, why it’s called “good,” how it’s tied to Easter and the Moon, and the traditions that surround it.

Sign needed changing. I have now gotten myself into a position of needing to change it again next week! 😁
