Last Sunday was the Fifth Sunday of Epiphany and the theme was Black History. This Sunday our music includes the solo Nobody Knows de Trouble I’ve Seen, and the anthem Rise Up, My Love. Our hymns include Shall We Gather at the River. This is also the first of three weeks when we sing I’m Gonna Live So God Can Use Me as our introit, and a verse from I’ve Got Peace Like a River as our sung blessing.
Every other year, Rev. Emily shares daily emails during Lent. Each short email has poetry, readings, art, a small spiritual practices or something else to begin another day in the season of Lent. Members of Leaside United Church, family, friends, participants at other churches and the wider community are all very welcome to sign up! Email Emily if you would like to be added to the list.
Our Lent emails will engage with this year’s Lent worship theme: Jesus said what?! (They will also be meaningful on their own, for those not participating in weekly worship.) This Lent our Jesus said what?! theme will explore some of the things that Jesus says in the gospels, and how they might challenge, confuse, encourage, or inspire us today.
Two years ago 96 emails were on our daily Lent emails list, reaching at least 100 people. How many will it be this year? Be sure to sign up before Ash Wednesday – February 22, so that you don’t miss any of the 40 days of Lent.
