I have a family member (Joanne) who has struggled the last several years with Parkinson's disease along with Alzheimer's disease. She believes in the power of prayer and together with her husband (Dave) has a sense that God will completely heal her. Please pray for perseverance and comfort for them along with the wisdom, discernment and grace to accept whatever it is God has planned for them. Thank you in advance for your prayers for them.

Lent Devotional

In the church calendar, Lent marks the season leading up to Easter. A common practice during Lent is to “give something up” – to fast from something like Jesus fasted in the desert.

That’s why people often ask: What are you giving up for Lent?

But Lent isn’t just about giving something up. It’s about giving something up to become more like Jesus. About giving something up to gain something else. About giving up anything and everything that keeps us from following Jesus’ way of love.

So, this Lent, we’re asking the question: What would we give up for love?

Examen | Last Week

This is a practice of looking backwards and trying to notice where God was at work in the past, in order to more easily spot and open up to where God is at work in our present moments. Since the regular noise of life tends to drown out that awareness.

Three Lies of Identity

In his book entitled, “Who Are We?” late author and priest Henri Nouwen describes three key lies of identity that can mess with our heads and create barriers to us experiencing the love of both God and community. He names these lies as: • I am what I have • I am what I do • I am what other people say or think of me
