Do you see yourself in Mary or Martha, both or neither? How so?

As we head into the second week of Lent, and the topic of "Faith & Works", we reflect on the story of Mary & Martha from Luke 10:38-42. Sean Metzgar, FPCA's Worship Tech Director, shares how he sees himself in Martha more than Mary and encourages us to find balance between the "being" and the "doing".

This year's theme is "Everything [in] Between" inspired by "A Sanctified Art".
