We continue "feeling our way through Lent" this Sunday. We've touched on vulnerability, courage, confusion, and curiosity. Next up: shame and love. The story of Jesus' interaction with the Samaritan woman by the well invites us to reflect on when and why we feel shame, and how we can alleviate shame -- our own and others -- through love and empathy, as Jesus does for the unnamed woman in the story. Like her, we are freed as shame is pulled out from the shadows into the loving gaze of God. Pastor Jeremy's message is called "The Power of Being Seen." Sandy will be at the piano, Jeff will sing and play guitar, David and Elise will read scripture, and the Sanctuary Choir will sing. We hope you can join us -- in person or online -- for a meaningful time of worship! Download the Sunday, March 12 worship bulletin here.

During the season of Lent, Pastor Jeremy has invited our congregation to take up the spiritual practice of the Daily Examen. We have small Lenten journals to pass out (we made more!) which include simple instructions for the Daily Examen as well as a long list of words for emotions from the Center for Nonviolent Communication. If you won't be here on Sunday, you can download a PDF version here. |
