From Associate Minister Michael Ellick IIs there another way of living? Is there such a thing as a love and a security that comes from the inside out? Have the world’s sages been telling the truth all along? Well, who knows? But how would we ever know for sure if we don’t try it out for ourselves? So I invite you all into the practice of Lent. It’s not about punishing or berating yourself for our old subroutines, it’s about the satisfaction of a fresh start. Lent is the question: what does my new life look like? And when you’ve answered that, push yourself. Ask, “How can I express my new life in new habits, in new routines, in a new relationship to my community and to God?” To this end, let me offer you a prayer, and a few general strategies: Then, If they ever say your voice is way off key, let them know that everybody can sing! And if they ever tell you “you’re marching out of step,” tell them, I march to the beat of a different drum. And in the same way, should you ever get accused of disbelief, lack of faith, or just good old-fashioned blasphemy, remind them, religion was made to serve us, we weren’t made to serve religion. A church that's a little bit different - and committed to making a difference. This Sunday at Judson - 11:00 a.m. This Thursday at Judson - 7:00 p.m. Wednesdays at Judson If you are searching for a church home, we would love to get to know you.
