Happy Third Sunday in the season of Lent. Inspired by the children of Israel wandering in the wilderness for 40 years and Jesus fasting in the wilderness for 40 days, Lent is a 40 plus day journey into the dry desert of our lives so that we can discover living waters for our souls. As of this Sunday, we are a little under 20 days into that journey, and everyone is invited to join no matter when they start. The theme for this year's Lenten season is "The 7 last words of Jesus." These 7 words were the 7 last sayings of Jesus as he hung on the cross. Last Sunday we explored the 2nd word “Today you will be with me in Paradise.” On this first Sunday in women’s history month, we examine the 3rd word, “Woman, behold thy son; Son, behold thy mother.”
There is a fountain filled with love drawn from Christ's holy side and we are invited to plunge beneath that flow and lose all our greed, anger, envy, and pride. Come to that fountain. Come and listen to Christ's 3rd “last word”. Come and taste rivers living waters being poured out on the cross. Come let us worship.
The scriptures this Sunday come from John 19:16-27

Igor Glenn & Friends
Presents a series of five concerts to benefit Lura Turner Homes for Adults with Developmental Disabilities 7pm, Friday on
March 1, 2024
Central United Methodist
1875 N Central Ave,
Phoenix, AZ 85004
Tickets: $100 for series (in advance)
or $25 at the door per concert
True, Igor Glenn has played with musical legends from the New Christy Minstrels to John Denver to Benny Goodman. But with six decades of touring the world as a solo artist or teamed with the likes of Jazz Cowboys, Igor has emerged as a legend in his own right. As a one-man band, Igor's commands musical styles from country to folk to gospel to jazz...well, he embraces genres from A to Z. What's more...what other musicians can claim to charm audiences in China and both versions of "The Gong Show". Then when Igor mixes and matches his musician friends in concert, the musical menu covers tastes from the world over. Don't be surprised if Igor and his family-friends have audiences singing along in the intimate Womack Center.
