After being wrongfully convicted, Socrates is in jail and his friend, Crito, wants to help him escape. But Socrates won't do it. He's too committed to the respect of law, his innocence, and the voice of God. This last one is the most troubling to me. "Give it up, Crito, since God leads the way" are the final words of the conversation.
How committed are we? How willing to follow are we? Where is God leading us? These are life's hardest questions.
It is a joy to discern these in fellowship with you, as part of our life together. May we be good friends to each other.

Written by Members and Friends of Nassau Church
To help strengthen, inspire, and connect our community of faith, the Lenten Devotions Team has gathered daily reflections for Lent written by members and friends of the Nassau congregation.
Contributors have written a meditation and prayer for each day from
Ash Wednesday, February 26, to Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020. Each meditation focuses on select verses from a lectionary text of the day.
How will you follow along this Lent?

Choir Notes
Dear Chorale and Cantorei,
This morning, a student of mine told me when she sings in her ensemble, she feels as though everyone's "hearts beat together". Yes, that. We have so many upcoming opportunities to lead worship together, and to experience as one ensemble this "whole is stronger than the parts". It feels right, and good. Thanks be to God for each of you.
