This Wednesday began with the parents of one of the High School youth surprising them at coffee for their 16th birthday. A balloon, card, and singing - what fun!!
This Wednesday ended with the last of the Lenten worship services for this season. The five-week series, Open Our Lives, Lord, has been thought-provoking and fun to plan. Open Our Eyes included watching a video of beautiful pictures of creation, inviting us to recognize God’s hand in things we may not usually - including people unlike ourselves. Open Our Hands included anointing our palms for service to the Lord. Open Our Ears included an invitation into silent meditation, inviting God to speak to us in the quiet. Open Our Lips/Heart included sharing with a neighbor at the table a way in which God’s presence has been made known in our own life. And Open Our Lives, tonight, included offering something that we have been hesitating to hand over to God, writing it down so that we will be able to reflect upon it during Holy Week.
Thank you to Augsburg Fortress for the series idea. And thank you to everyone who has faithfully participated each week. This Lenten season has been particularly inspiring for me through your participation.
Blessings.
