Thy Will Be Done
“Mankind has always been deeply infatuated with human will. A person’s course of action and direction in life is guided by their will. The thoughts, feelings, and desires of a person manifest externally when someone works with and even against the world around them. ”

Why Easter?
Our Theme for Lent is “Why Easter?”(Pretty clever, huh?) A small difference is that we will be giving the answer to that question delivered from our Savior himself in what is known as the Seven Words from the Cross. Here, in brief, are what might be termed, Previews of Coming Attractions:
The Seven Words are:
• “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”
• “Today, you will be with me in paradise.”
• “Woman, behold, thy son! Behold, thy mother!”
• “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
• “I thirst.”
• “It is finished” and
• “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”

Why Lent? Jesus answers and says, “God is gracious and merciful”
When members of this congregation studied the Book of Joel quite some time ago, we learned of some valuable biblical-historical realities. Among them was, that prior to the section of the Book we heard from today, God gave a clear call to repentance to His then sinning people. Their sins against Him were primarily from following other gods. But they also included not respecting their fellow Israelites, those who were called to be their brothers and sisters in the Faith. He told them He would, should they not repent, bring hordes of locusts upon them. …For more, click on the title above.
