Catch me in my aimless scurrying, Lord,

and hold me to this Lenten season,

hold my heart to the beat of your grace

and create in me a resting place,

    a kneeling place...

and somehow,

during this season of sacrifice,

enable me to sacrifice time

and possessions

and securities,

to do something...

something about what I see,

something to turn the water of my words

into the wine of will and risk...

into the blessedness of deed,

of a cross picked up,

a savior followed.   

Palm Sunday

Our theme at the Gathering today is A Heart for Sacrifice. Palm Sunday is a day which demands your reflection! Ponder the meaning of what is really going on here, and then...

Holy Week

Holy? Seriously? Look around. Do things look that much different to you? Do things look "holy"? What makes this week holy?

Thursday, April 17th, 7:00 PM, First Christian Church, The Last Supper

Readings, Songs and Communion shared by four congregations

Friday, April 18th, 1:00 PM, Our Daily Bread

Readings, Songs and a Solemn Remembrance of the Crucifixion

Sunday, April 20th, 2:00 PM Easter Dinner, 5:00 PM Worship

This is The Gathering's schedule but, wherever you are, please be very intentional about your worship. And then, on Easter Monday, ask: What made Holy Week holy?
