Vicar Pat Henking on how we can join others this Lenten Season in making the world safer; an early Lenten promise to ask each day that I/we would help make the world a little bit safer; discovering through book-study dialog that making a “new thing” of an old prejudice against another person is liberating to the point of needing to share words of encouragement in verse; “What do we need to confess in our lives so that we can be filled with the extravagant love of God?” Colors of the Wind, a Disney Song from Pocahontas; Sadie Gage, vocalist; Nancy Jamrog-Couret, piano. Vicar Pat Henking: Examples of the bringing forth of “new things” in support of others, some with monumental consequences for good; new words to the tune of We Shall Overcome offered as nourishment of God’s love for us; benediction; announcements; dismissal.
