To
The Beloved People of God:
We continued our Lenten
journey February 24th evening, when we came to the midweek Lenten
Service -
hurried at the end of a
day,
hungry
for words of comfort,
harassed
as our hearts were filled with the burdens of the day.
Gathered in a circle
around the cross, we were surrounded by Ð
silence,
flickering
candlelight,
smells
of soup that lingered from the ÒSoup and Bread SupperÓ
Our minds heard those
familiar words of Jesus Ð
ÒI am the Way, The Truth,
and the LifeÓ,
ÒI
will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to youÓ
ÒPeace
I leave with you, my peace I give to youÓ
ÒDo
not let your hearts be troubled; and do not let them be afraid.Ó
Our voices joined together
in song -
ÒThose who seek God, shall
never go wanting.Ó
ÒTake,
oh, take me as I am;Ó
ÒGoodness
is stronger than evil; Love is stronger than hate.Ó
Our hearts joined together
in prayer we felt the Ð
Warmth of a touch on our
shoulders, and
peace
that passes all understanding.
We left that place to Ð
Ògo in peace, the deep
peace of Christ JesusÓ, and
follow
Jesus to places we have never gone before.
Come join us as we gather
around the cross in meditation.
Pastor Phylis
