Tonight, at 6:30 pm we will have our Maundy Thursday service in the Sanctuary. This service of scripture, song and silence, helps us usher in the trial, death and hope-for resurrection of Jesus in the coming days. Come be part of this story of love.

Today is the Second Sunday in Lent and together, in worship at 11:00, we explore the story of Jesus' foot washing from Luke 7.
I wonder, if you lived next door to God, how would you show love?

If God Lived Next Door

If God lived next door,
I’d drop off a loaf of bread.
I’d use my mom’s best recipe.
I’d wrap it in parchment and ribbon
and place it on the front stoop.
If God lived next door,
I’d leave a note with my phone number.
Call anytime you need anything!
I’m always happy to help!
If God lived next door,
I’d keep sugar on the shelf,
just in case she needed a cup.
I’d put a picnic table in the front yard
and begin taking my coffee there.
Whenever God passed by with their gaggle of rescue dogs,
I could say, Want to sit for a moment? Want to rest your legs?
I’d keep a jar of dog treats and water by the mailbox
and change my doormat to one that says:
All are welcome here.
I’d invite God over for dinner.
She’d bring bread and juice.
I’d host a block party,
so that everyone could meet her.
I’d start a community garden
so that the kids could run between rows of squash and tomatoes
while we adults put our hands in the dirt.
We’d share stories while we weeded,
and eat harvest meals at the end of the season.
If God lived next door,
I’d want to build something beautiful.
Then again,
who says she doesn’t?

Today is the first Sunday of Lent, where together in worship (at 11:00 am), we will hear about the Wedding at Cana...Jesus' debut as a public figure...but more than that, a celebration of life, love, and hope.

I wonder, what do you hope is written for you?

+++++
Start With a Wedding

When it comes time to write my obituary for the local paper, please do not start with my résumé. Do not start with my career or my worldly accomplishments (however small they may be). Do not take up space writing about my alma mater or outlining the entire family tree (we know who we are). Instead, spend your precious little word count on how beautiful it all was. Write about the dinner parties
and the fireside chats. Write about the evenings we spent on the front stoop counting fireflies. Write about summers in the mountains and the garden that we grew. Write about the seasons we cried out to God, and the prayers that God answered. Write about the nights we danced, and the days we laughed. When it comes time to tell the story of my life, please take a lesson from the Gospel of John, and start with a wedding. Start with a miracle. Start with the fact that all of it held joy.

Today is Ash Wednesday and during this season ahead, we'll be exploring the Good News...of Lent?
No....that wasn't a type-o!
There is good news in the promises of God.

We'll have a brief worship of ashes and communion this evening at 6:00 pm. You are, of course, invited.

The Gospel According to
Mrs. Farnell’s Pre-K Class

In Pre-K the whole class gets an invite to Tommy’s birthday.
He places the paper invites in our cubbies. There’s a helter-skelter sticker
sealing each one, proof that tiny hands did the work. So we,
the members of Mrs. Farnell’s Pre-K class, arrive at the park on Saturday.
We arrive whether or not we’ve ever built a sandcastle with Tommy.
We arrive whether or not we’ve ever shared half of our PB&J at lunch.
We arrive at the park on Saturday, with pigtails and balloons,
because we were invited.
And together we play tag, and we eat birthday cake, and we run barefoot in the grass.
Together, we sing Happy birthday to youuuuuu, so excited we can barely stand still.
Together, we momentarily forget that Chloe never gets picked for Red Rover and that Quinn cried in
class last week, because the park is not the playground and everyone was invited.
And when we load into our cars at the end of the day, with grass-stained knees, chocolate frosting
on our faces, and the awareness of inclusion, we say to our parents, This was the best day of my life.

Tomorrow there will be a brief service of ashes and communion at 6:00 pm in the sanctuary. The Good News, is that all are invited.
