Peace People,
If I don’t see you at the Camphires’ Irish Party at 1421 70th St East, Bradenton, 34208, on Saturday afternoon, I surely hope to see you Sunday morning at Peace.
We will reflect on the immeasurable gift of God – grace – that free gift of love that we do not deserve and cannot earn. Let us never stop being amazed by the boundlessness and beauty of this gift, such that our way of life reflects that bounty and beauty. Read Ephesians 2:1-10 to prepare for worship.
Here’s part of a prayer for St Patrick’s Day written by the Saint himself, who lived from 389-461!
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in mouth of friend and stranger.
Mark your calendar now for a meaningful Holy Week. Palm Sunday is April 1, Good Friday is April 6 at 7:00, and Easter Sunday, April 8. On Good Friday, we will share a simple meal around tables, remembering the Last Supper, before hearing the Passion Narrative, read by multiple voices. The staff, choirs, and Worship Team are working hard to prepare for this central season of the church year.
Peace to all,
Elizabeth
