*About our Worship*
God has created you as an embodied vessel of holy love. After this past year, we need this reminder every day.
It is the fifth Sunday in the season of Lent, and this year we are embarking on a “season of recovery” for our physical, communal, mental, intellectual, and environmental health. We are exploring the healing narratives of Jesus that tell of divine solidarity with human suffering and remind us that we can begin a journey toward making something beautiful from that which is seemingly broken.
This week we are focusing on environmental health as we look at the story in Matthew 8.18-27. The demands of following Jesus are great. He shows us that sometimes we must make extraordinary efforts to move in a new direction. As we consider the health of humanity, we cannot ignore the need to heal the very planet that sustains us. We live in increasing chaos of a beleaguered environment and the hoarding of resources. We want to be “saved” by something or someone else, but we discover this week that we are in the boat with the One who shows us our power to turn it around, to calm the storm. We protect the jewel that is our home, restoring something beautiful from scars of the past.
