I know football season is over with but next weekend (Feb 21-22) we kickoff our Lenten series and I’m really excited. I pray that students and adults join small groups because it’s the best place to tackle these subjects and it’s where we see the most life change. I pray that students invite their friends to Resurrection and Uprising. I pray that the Confirmation candidates take advantage of the resources this series presents. I pray that many students and adults give ministry a shot, especially Upward Ministries. I pray that small groups and families participate in a mission project in the greater Baltimore area. Lord I just pray that in the times that we are living in that Church of the Nativity can become a beacon of your guiding light. Amen.
