We take for granted that God is love, and forget what an odd idea that has been throughout history.  This morning we'll think a little bit about what the other gods in history have looked like, and how they're still active today, and we have to choose them or a God of love.

Ancient Israel had a built in rhythm to their personal, communal, and spiritual lives that centered around festivals and holy days. During Lent, we’ll be exploring some of the high points of that “sacred time” and looking at how we can incorporate a rhythm of rest, work, thanksgiving and remembering into our own lives, heading into Easter, the Church’s own great festival.

This week begins the Christian tradition of Lent, 40 days of prepation, fasting, meditation and other disciplines designed to prepare us for the coming of Easter Sunday. Many different Chrsitian traditions begin their Lent season with an Ash Wednesday service, a time dedicated to remembering Jesus' sacrifice and for us to take our own place in that story.

Not having a building has made it really difficult for us to find a consistent way to practice Ash Wednesday, so this year, we're going to have our Ash Wednesday celebrations on Sunday, 2/23. This will be a quieter and more introspective time of worship, a time where we invite most of our kids (nursery care will still provided) to worship with us, and a time to begin the Lent season on the right foot.

Join us this Sunday for our new sermon series looking at Paul’s letter to the Corinthians! In what may have been the most dysfunctional church in the ancient world (and, that’s saying something!), Paul found grace and mercy and community to encourage the Corinthians to be the example Jesus had called them to be. As we start this new year, join us in thinking about the way the church is supposed to be, and how we can all move in that direction together!
