Lent continues

As we continue the journey through this wilderness season, I encourage you to take some time to reflect on your spiritual practices, disciplines, and self-care. We are mid-way through Lent already, but I would like to recommend a book I'm reading: A Clearing Season: Reflections for Lent, by Sarah Parsons. This is a wonderful guide to some intentional inner work that is both practical in its specificity and powerful in its insights. I bought my copy from MethodX.net (visit their store), but I'm sure it's available from other fine booksellers.

This Sunday, March 26, Pastor Betty is back to preach, and the Highlands UMC Band will also lead us in worship. The adult Sunday school class on World Religions continues with a session on Islam.

Sunday, April 2, we will celebrate Communion. April 9 is Palm Sunday, when an ensemble performance of The Gospel of Mark will provide a new and different way for us to hear and reflect on the Good News. More information on Holy Week services coming soon - hope to see you at Highlands this week!
