SERENITY PRAYER
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as Jesus did, the sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
Our Thursday night Teaching service continues during Lent. You can join us in-person or by ZOOM at 6:30 p.m. This Thursday, among other things, we'll be spending time on one of my favorite parables, about the lost or prodigal son. If you can, please read Luke 15:1-19:27 ahead of time. As you do, think about the following questions:
Have you ever lost something really valuable? Did you eventually find it? How did you feel?
In the parable of the Prodigal Son, which character do you identify with the most? Why?
What does it mean to be faithful?
What's so great about children, that Jesus lifts them up to us?
Hope you have a great and uplifting week. Grace and Hope to you,
Pastor Duane
