Holy Habits and Basics of Our Faith

On Wednesday, we began our forty-day journey known as the season of Lent in preparation for the celebration of Easter. Throughout the centuries, Christians have used these days as a time of spiritual reflection, letting go of some of the things that distract them from following Christ, and intentionally adding some new “holy habits” to their lives. Traditionally, these have included prayer, fasting, study, and service to others. I hope you will consider this as your invitation to observe a holy Lent.

An Investment in Transformation

The season of Lent is upon us, and we begin our forty-day observance on March 5 with our Ash Wednesday services. The imposition of ashes will be available in the early morning at the Rollins Building turnaround from 7:00 am to 9:00 am, and services will be held at noon and 5:00 pm in the Moore Chapel. Our final Ash Wednesday service will occur at 7:00 pm in the sanctuary. During this season of repentance, we will prepare for our celebration of the Resurrection.

We Have Been Guided by God’s Spirit

Last Sunday was a wonderful day as we welcomed Bishop Will Willimon to Peachtree Road UMC. He preached a powerful message from Habakkuk 2 in which he encouraged us to actively wait for the Lord’s vision for our church to be fully realized and to entertain the possibility that now just might be the time. As we sang our closing hymn, “Marching to Zion,” I was struck by how blessed we are as a congregation.

Your Love Is Hope

I want to begin this week’s note with a word of gratitude for your generous gift to Celebrate UMC in Pacific Palisades, California. That church was consumed by flames from the Palisades Wildfire last month, and we received a special offering the next two Sundays. Earlier this week, we mailed a check for over $22,000 to help Celebrate UMC rebuild its ministry. Imagine. They don’t have an altar table, baptismal font, pews, Bibles, hymnals, or even a building in which to worship.
