Happy Monday!
I hope everyone had a refreshing weekend and enjoyed the beautiful weather! I also hope and prayed that you all stayed safe during the winter storm last week! It was a very unusual event, but it gave a great opportunity to lean in to trusting the Lord!
"To know God as our Father - our almighty - loving father is the highest, richest, and most rewarding aspect of our whole relationship with Him."
Wednesday, February 24th
JSAY will be meeting on Wednesday, February 24th from 6:00-7:30pm in the youth room. We are going to be talking about God the Father. God the Father loves us so much that He sent His only son to take on our human nature and to die for us. His Son, Jesus, reveals to us to call God “Our Father.” God is a Father who never abandons his children, a loving Father who supports, helps, welcomes, forgives, saves, with a fidelity that immensely surpasses that of men, opening up to an eternal dimension. Come learn more about God the Father! There will be a guest speaker, snacks, and fun that you won't want to miss!
Parent Resources:
Beyond the Pew has made a lenten devotional for parents "Praising in the Storm" is a free Lenten devotional that helps create a space for daily prayer and reflection on the Psalm readings throughout Lent. The Psalms remind us that in the chaos, uncertainty, and strife, we can always look to the Lord and praise His name... even in the storms.
