Saving God,
These forty days we travel through the clutter of our lives, seeking simplicity and grace. During this season of Lent may we allow You to break us apart, disassembling our priorities, attitudes and foibles. As we stand defenseless before You, we pray You will reassemble us into new creations in Christ. It is a risky journey we are on and we can’t make it by ourselves. Bless us, O God, with the guidance and comfort of Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus name we pray, AMEN.

Please offer prayers for Madge Loomis. She broke her leg and underwent major surgery yesterday at St. Mary’s Hospital.
Please also pray for Josephine Shellady, Connie Coegel and Inez Fisher.
This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
The scripture reading for today is Matthew 13:54-58:
He came to his hometown and began to teach the people in their synagogue, so that they were astounded and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these deeds of power? Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all this?” And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “Prophets are not without honor except in their own country and in their own house.” And he did not do many deeds of power there, because of their unbelief.
Grace and peace,
John McLemore
