Is it the same marina at the same Hopkinton State Park as it would be at 6 pm? On a level, sure. But on the other hand, when you see it at 6:30 am, it’s a whole different ballgame. Different light, different birdsong, a different feeling in the air.
No doubt you’ve got some beloved traditions, but this year, Pilgrim Church is hoping to add a new one to the roster!
Jesus took himself out of the fray and put himself in touch with God through prayer and reflection. He took time for himself.
Maybe other things have been crowding God out of your life. It happens! Lent is an opportunity to focus, to “tune ourselves” back into God. I hope you’re attending church this Lent with a sense of God following you out of the sanctuary and into the rest of your life.
If we intend to keep growing our church, we had better be about the business of letting folks know that they’re welcome here, no matter who they are or where they are on life’s journey.
For now, as the minister of an Open and Affirming Church in the United Church of Christ, I’d like to add my voice to the chorus that says, “No, this should not have happened again.”
Don’t arrive at Easter thinking, “It felt like Lent barely even happened.” You deserve a better Lent!
Will you give up eating meat? Could you adopt a prayer practice? Will you join the Considering Forgiveness Workshop?
This week, the theme of Worship and our Kid’s Church curriculum is “Jesus has the power to calm our fears.”
