I appreciate Lent and the weeks before Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter. However, as these four services approach, my heart transitions to the days ahead.
I know that COVID changed many people’s rhythms, including church participation. During the last year of my multiple surgeries, I have come to appreciate live streaming, but I have recognized that worship with people differs from worship via live stream.
In the coming weeks, I want to invite people to join me for Worship during the various upcoming services. If you are able and looking for a place to worship, please come and be present with us. There is always room in my row. ❤️ There is something special about being in Church, especially in the coming weeks! I also think entering or reentering is easier with an invitation and knowing someone would be delighted to see you!
I hope you will also make a point to invite others to your faith community for this particular season.
May we grow in our ability to simply invite without agenda, expectation, or demand. Invite with an open heart and a desire to create a space for relationships to grow! ❤️ trish
