The Way it is for Michelle
On the third Sunday in Lent you’ll hear Pastor Michelle talk about the foundational scripture that guides her faith, as she explains about the thread she follows. While you hear that, think about what scripture or Bible story has held your attention, or keeps showing up in your life.
Scripture: Luke 24:13-35
The Way It Is
Lent is a season in the church year that leads up to Holy Week and Easter. In Lent, we follow Jesus’ journey in his life and ministry that led to his execution, and see how our death-dealing ways are defeated by a God who loves us.
This Lent we will explore some of what is “the way” of Christ, and how we are invited alongside, which makes space for us to reflect on our own faith journey and where God is leading us and what God is calling us to do and be.
We are framing the season around a poem by William Stafford called, “The Way it Is”
There’s a thread that you follow
It goes among things that change…
This poem makes it clear-each journey is personal, so your “Way” is different than others’ way, and the Way of Christ is about the journey, not a set of instructions.
