Palm Sunday and a Brunch
Dear MRC Family,
Lenten blessings to you
Beloved, we are nearing the end of our Lenten journey as we move closer to Holy Week this Palm Sunday. And so, as always, I look forward to worshiping with you at 10:30 AM in our beautiful sanctuary or online. Tom will lead us in our hymns and sing the Prelude “Blessed Are the Ones” and the Joyful Noise Adult Choir will sing the Anthem “Hosanna Unto the King.” Our kids will bless us with the Message for all ages singing “Hosanna!” I am preaching from John 12.12-27 — Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem — but I’m not going to talk about palms, a donkey, a triumphant entry, or even shout out a ‘Hosanna.’ How can that be on Palm Sunday? My sermon title is It Can Wait. Also, after worship please come to the Education Building where our Fabulous Kitchen Crew will prepare us a delicious brunch.
If you are unable to be in person for worship, we will be streaming live on our YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@mrcafabulouschurchoflove1611. And if you are one of our many followers on Facebook, subscribers on YouTube, or you worship with us online, please consider donating to the ministries of MRC at www.mrchurch.us/give. Thank you for your generosity!
Lastly, here is the reflection question for this upcoming week from our Lenten devotional TMSG from A Sanctified Art based on the Scripture reading from Mark 11.1-11: How might we emulate Jesus through acts of service and sacrifice? And before worship, don’t forget to write where you saw, heard, received, shared, or enjoyed the good news of God this week in the “Goodness Book” on the Lenten table. Inspire someone with your goodness sighting!
Keep following and bothering Jesus, beloved. See you on Sunday!
With gratitude for the privilege of being your pastor and the holy call of loving you,
Pastor Trish
