Lent

Reflection O God of highways, and alleyways, The weary road of life is crowded with those carrying their crosses. Many are flogged and shamed by poverty, abused by old age, addicted to alcohol and drugs. Others are weighed down by a lack of education, good medical care or dignified jobs. Do we pretend to be merely spectators, innocently minding our own business? OR…Beloved Savior, Does your spirit within us inspire us to step forward and lift up their heavy crosses, adding them to our own, As once, long ago, Simon of Cyrene did for you? Help us to continue to be your hands & feet for those who don’t have enough food or for those who need a hug. And help us to be your heart for the lonely, the left-out, for those who have no one to love them. Amen.

STEWARDSHIP UPCOMING EVENTS

STEWARDSHIP “Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from your

father’s house to a land that I will show you.” Genesis12:1B

God calls His Stewards to leave behind our old ways and to follow Him, placing our complete trust in Him. Some of the old ways that we may have to struggle to leave behind might be materialism, selfishness and greed. Yet God promises to show us a new land, a better place than the rat race we often live in now.
