Friday, March 10

I read about a church which observed a program called 40 Days of Love. In the seven weeks of Lent, the first week persons were asked to write a letter(s), the second week make a phone call(s), the third week share a love gift(s), the fourth week spend time daily in prayer, the fifth week make a visit(s), and then observe Holy Week. A good program. Remember I have challenged you early in Lent to observe what I call the three sevens - attend the seven weeks of Lent/Easter, pray daily at seven a.m., and invite seven persons to UMCE. I also asked you to join with me in fasting, which is different from dieting (no giggles, please). How are you doing?

Prayer:  "Loving God, help me to be all you would have me to be, in Jesus' name, Amen."
