Reminder - We will have our Maundy Thursday service tonight at 630pm.

I'm always struck by how powerful the ending of this service is for me. We will strip and clean the altar and remove the reserved Sacrament, then exit in silence. I find this to be one of the most powerful and meaningful acts of our shared liturgical year.

Every year in Lent I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the Lent Madness brackets from Forward Day by Day. Today marks the final matchup as Archbishop Desmond Tutu is matched up with Constance and her Companions. I commend the amazing ministries of both sides of this matchup to us all as astounding examples of loving God and Neighbor with the fullness of our lives. If you'd like to cast your vote in this final matchup you can do so here:

In the short write ups today, we're offered the following quote from Desmond Tutu, it seems particularly appropriate for our times:

“Dear Child of God, I write these words because we all experience sadness, we all come at times to despair, and we all lose hope that the suffering in our lives and in the world will ever end. I want to share with you my faith and my understanding that this suffering can be transformed and redeemed. There is no such thing as a totally hopeless case. Our God is an expert at dealing with chaos, with brokenness, with all the worst that we can imagine. God created order out of disorder, cosmos out of chaos, and God can do so always, can do so now--in our personal lives and in our lives as nations, globally. ... Indeed, God is transforming the world now--through us--because God loves us.”

― Desmond Tutu, God Has a Dream: A Vision of Hope for Our Time

And to celebrate, join us today at 12pm EST on Facebook Live as we meet some of our bloggers, connect with friends of Forward Movement, and celebrate all things Lent Madness 2026! 🎥
