Scripture reading from Luke 15 - the Lost Sheep - we are all the "lost" sheep whom Jesus seeks out and rejoices when we return. Let us emulate Jesus in drawing near those who are lost, letting them know they are loved and included in God's Kingdom.

Updates:

5) Palm Sunday is March 29, leading us into Holy Week, remembering Jesus in the Upper Room as he gives the mandate to "Love One Another" on Maundy Thursday (April 1); the rejection by the crowds of Jesus who is ushering God's Kingdom of redemption (and not a physical kingdom to overthrow the Roman Empire) on Good Friday (April 2, at Noon), and then the joyful celebration of God's defeat of sin and death with resurrection of Jesus on Easter morning (Sunday, April 5 --- 8a.m. and 10a.m.)

May God go with you and open your mouth to speak God's mercy to all!
