​Feb. 19, 2021
 
Good Friday Village Family,
 
So they tell me that warmer days are on the way, and we will certainly welcome that. Hey, this Sunday is the first Sunday of lent. We began the Lenten season on Wednesday evening with our Ash Wednesday service. If you missed that, you can find that on the website.
 
The sermon series for the season of Lent that leads us to Easter, which will happen the first Sunday of April. The Lenten sermon series is called "The World Turned Upside Down." I'll be leading us in a conversation about the Beatitudes. The life that Jesus said he brings to us he described as the Kingdom of God, or sometimes the Kingdom of Heaven. And the Kingdom of Heaven is not so much about us getting into heaven. It's more we're getting a little heaven into us. And Jesus spent his ministry showing us and teaching us about what that life looks like.
 
And as the way Matthew tells it, Jesus begins teaching with the Beatitudes descriptions of a blessed life. And Jesus finds blessing in some surprising places. And so over these weeks, I want to explore with you some of these conditions that Jesus recognized as blessed. Those with a broken heart, those with a pure heart, those who are hungry for things to be different.
 
This Sunday we'll talk about the poor in spirit and what it means to be impoverished in spirit. And I hope that you will find this inspiring and encouraging for you, particularly in these days.
 
We'll have some wonderful music, a wonderful arrangement of "Be Thou My Vision." And that marimba player that we had a few Sundays ago he's back and we'll have that in our service on Sunday.
 
We also, as we do every first Sunday of Lent, we will observe the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. So, prepare for that. Have some bread and cup that you can share in that when we come to that time in the service.
 
I'm looking forward to spending the season of reflection with you as we hear again Jesus' teaching on the Beatitudes. I hope to see you Sunday.
 
Shalom,
 
Tom
