God of the Journey,
as we prepare to walk the road with Jesus
as we take the path that leads to Jerusalem, to a cross on a hill, to a tomb of stone, and then….
Open our hearts, open our souls, open our very beings.
In the busyness of the preparation help us to see for ourselves how you are with us as the road darkens.
May we remember that we need to experience the darkness of the road to get to the glory that lies beyond.
As we prepare, open the old stories and songs of faith to our 21st century eyes,
that we would see what they have to tell us about our lives today.
Amen
On the first Saturday of each month, you have the opportunity to serve as Jesus did by working at a feeding program at the First UM Church. We arrive around 8:30 to help prepare the meal; then we serve the meal, eat with the guests, and clean up. We are usually done by 12:30. See Gus for details!
Are you looking to understand what it means to be a Christian?
Would you like to share in an exciting Bible study?
The South Hills Partnership is offering, “The Top Ten List for Christians: Priorities for Faithful Living,” an upbeat Bible study by James Moore. You can join in this study on Sunday afternoons at 4:00 at Carnegie United Methodist Church, or on Wednesday afternoons following the Lenten Luncheons at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Castle Shannon. Please come and join in a time of fellowship and study.
