LISTENING FOR GOD'S VOICE--A VISION FOR THE FUTURE

On Sunday, February 28, the spiritual leaders of Arlington Presbyterian Church (the session) offered  to the congregation an opportunity for ministry that is complimentary to our vision.    The packet, detailing this opportunity, can be found here.  This is bold and big.  It moves us from planning only for survival to imagining what could be, what needs to be and what God wants.  The video presentation should be available here soon.  For questions or comments, please be in touch via e-mail.
LENT IN ACTION

Following on our Faith in Action experience, during the next six weeks we will be focusing on LENT IN ACTION.  Daily there will be reflections for you to read and pray over.  May this be a blessed Lent.

 

If any want to become My followers, let them deny themsevles and take up their cross daily and follow me.--Luke 9:23

Not just some days, but each day we must take up our cross and follow Jesus.  In our days on this earth, we will never be completely free from burdens and struggles and hardships that weigh us down.  They are a part of life.  But Jesus came to change that.  He dragged a wooded cross to Calvary to lift the weight of all our individual crosses unto HIs own.  That's why we follow Him--becasue He is the ultimate weight lifter!

Thank You for carrying the weight of my sin to the cross for me.  Amen.

These reflections are taken from Creative Communications
READING FOR PRAYER AND REFLECTION

Each week we post a scripture reading (usually a reading for the coming Sunday).  You are invited to read the passage and reflect on the question asked.  May these readings be a blessing.

Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32

This passage from Luke is what is commonly known as the Parable of the Prodigal Son.  It could also be known as the Parable of the Loving Father as seen in this section of the passage.

So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him.
Then the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.
And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!’ And they began to celebrate.

How have you experienced this kind of love in your life?  When have you shared this kind of love with others?
