Beloved of God,
"Open our eyes, Lord, We want to see Jesus..."
These are the first words of our Lenten theme song. And they are our prayer throughout these 40 days.
This Sunday you'll hear stories of God's power to open eyes in Scripture and be challenged to allow God to open your eyes. Then on Wednesday we'll hear from artist Lucy Stoyke about how she opens her eyes to create.
May God bless each of us and all of us this Lent, opening our eyes to God.
In peace,
Pastor Sarah

Sundays 10:15 - 11:00 am
Meet in the Library and bring your Bible!
Open our Lives, Lord!
During Lent we will continue to explore our emotions from a biblical perspective. Emotions are a huge part of our lives, whether we admit to them or not! How we deal with our feelings makes a difference to our relationships with our family, our friends, ourselves, and God.
Come explore Anger, Grief, and Joy on Sunday mornings. You'll find that God is opening our lives through our emotions all the time!
