This week, our Lenten focus is on gaining reconciliation and relationship through the healing of those suffering from the "isms" and illnesses of life, that are unable to be fed and cared for at our tables of faith and fellowship.

What are the rituals and routines that keep you grounded, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually each day?

In these next few weeks, I'd guess there are going to be some really good days and some really hard days. And you know what, that's ok! Tonight we'll check in and hear from Scripture and a story.

We're starting the morning with a body prayer from Julian of Norwich. This prayer can be done sitting or standing. Join us!

Our Lenten theme is "Building Relationships through Reconciliation." We know Lent is a season of living a more sacrificial lifestyle that promotes a closer relationship with God. We practice giving something up for Lent, but for what purpose exactly? Everyone doesn't really know why we practice giving things up during Lent.

Recently, Pastor Claude and I have received a multitude of  requests for weddings in the church. It's an exciting time! In preparing for these weddings, I'm taking a training on Prepare/Enrich, a helpful tool for pre-marital counseling. Prepare/Enrich emphasizes the importance of communication in a relationship. This makes sense! So many relationships start AND end because of communication. Sometimes we think we're expressing something clearly, but the message received is not what we thought we'd sent.
