Friends, we're so glad to have kicked off our Lenten journey of handwriting the Gospel of John together! Let's continue to grow deeper in the Logos / Word of God as Pastor Jeya encouraged us on Sunday.

The season of Lent begins today, Ash Wednesday. As Lent last year was, this year’s Lent continues to be marked by lament and sorrow due to the widespread impact of Covid-19. But in that sorrow, repentance, and lament there is a hope. The hope that Easter is coming. The hope of the risen Jesus Christ, the promise of new, eternal life, of the renewal of all things, of the coming of God’s kingdom of unending peace and joy.

As we begin the season of Lent this week, we encourage you to renew your hearts & minds in the unbroken promise of God’s love. What spiritual disciplines, practices, and commitments will help you renew the promise of God's love throughout Lent? What will you add or subtract that will bring you closer to Jesus?

The season of Lent begins this upcoming week on Ash Wednesday. Throughout this past year, we've all had to let go of many things. How can we experience Jesus during this time of reflection, prayer, and even fasting? What can we subtract that will bring us into deeper awareness of God's love every day? What can we add?

As Third Culture people, we're used to living in thin, liminal, in-between spaces. We can receive the messiahship of Jesus as good news because, in him, heaven and earth are brought together. How do you experience the good grace of God's Kingdom here on earth, perhaps as a glimpse of heaven touching earth? How can we share this with others around us?

Friends, "spirituality" is a broken signpost in our world that all-too-often falls prey to the gnostic heresy that believes we need some kind of secret knowledge to free our souls (which are good) from our bodies (which are bad). Although sin has broken this world, it is still *good* because it is *God's* — and the glory of God revealed in the incarnation of Jesus tells us that true spirituality does not reject our humanity but embraces & redeems it.

On Sunday, Pastor Jeya helped us explore "love" as a broken signpost — a central part of what it means to be human that has been broken by sin but, through Christ, helps us make sense of the world. PJ led us in creating this word cloud as a church community.

Friends, as we begin this work week, we invite you to consider how you can experience and share Jesus' love. For many of us, we don't want to be served because we don't want to "bother" someone else or we're too proud to accept it. Let's be the family of God who gives and receives the love of Christ freely, not only for ourselves but for the life of the world around us!
