What's Your Temperature?

Only in Wisconsin!  What a great day for parking lot worship -5 degrees!  Everyone was warm in their cars and I was warm in the porta-pulpit!  In fact, the preacher was so full of hot air the window fogged up!  God sure has a sense of humor!
It has been bitterly cold, but with Ash Wednesday beginning Lent last night, Spring will be in the air soon! Lent can be a good break from life which can feel overwhelming from - busyness, anxiety, responsibilities, alienation, or even the temptation to compare our lives to someone else.  This world likes to push us around and tell us we are less than anything.  Thankfully, Jesus has come for all of us to know a different way of living and seeing the world from God’s perspective.
During the Wednesdays of Lent we will be focusing on the theme “Embodied.”  A liberating way of integrating our thinking, actions, emotions, and spirituality to live for God.  I hope you will plan to use the spiritual discipline of Lent to see how one’s mind, body, heart, and soul are called to be in-line with our daily thoughts and actions as Christians.
Embodied for Lent will take on many ways to feel deeply and have a sense of wholeness.  Beyond our weekly livestreamed worship on Wednesdays (6:30pm), we have daily devotionals, coloring pages, discussion after worship, and a host of other ways to connect.  Contact the church office for details or pick up materials in the tote outside the office doors, next to the mailbox.
Join in, be made whole, and beat the low temperatures.  Together let us see God’s love come to life!
 
Christ’s Blessings & Peace,
Pastor Nate
