11 am Worship 3/7: "Listening for God: Why *Not* Me?"

This Sunday's gospel scripture -- heard the world 'round that very day by disciples and seekers of every tongue and land -- is a difficult one for many to understand. Luke 13:1-9 seems to cast a judgmental eye on those who do not repent of their ways. But this scripture is not a promise of punishment. It's a needed Lenten dose of reality, to wit: Instead of asking God, "Why me?" when bad times befall us, we can best listen for God's desire in our lives by asking, "Why not me?" Instead of asking why something happened -- not a question often answered in the pages of our scriptures! -- the question we who listen for God are called to ask is, "What are we going to do about it?" Come, and join us on Communion Sunday as we hear the Good News afresh as well as our fabulous choir and soloists! Coffee hour to follow in the Fellowship Hall.
