I know that this is a new, strange, and anxious time for all of us. Being connected to each of you in spite of not being able to gather together in person brings me much peace, hope, love, and joy!
If you, or you know of someone needing assistance, please do reach out to me so that we might find the best next help. We are apart, but never alone. |

"In like a lion, out like a lamb. In like a lamb, out like a lion." This old saying refers to the weather in March, but also fits the church season of Lent.
Jesus' life and ministry were very much like a lion in comparison to the religious leaders of the time. He was a rabbi, but one whose roars struck such fear into the status quo that scheming began on how they could bring silence and return to power.
When the time was perfectly right, Jesus revealed His true purpose and became the thing that would turn the entire system on its head... a lamb. Not just any lamb, but the purest and most adored lamb, the one that is reserved as a sacrifice to God. In like a lion, out like a lamb.
