Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church
I pray you are finding courage and reason enough to continue moving
toward the shelter of God's eternal provisions.
Next Sunday is the fifth Sunday in Lent. Is God calling us to love more
extravagantly? What might that look like? Can we let go of our
mild-mannered thoughts about God in order to embrace and hold on to
God’s wild, over-the-top love? What we once prized seems like trash
compared to an intimate relationship with God. Relinquishing our
self-justifying ways, we pour ourselves out as a gift.
The scriptures suggested for the day are Isaiah 43:16-21 and John
12:1-8. Marilyn will be our preacher, speaking about 'Recognizing the
divine.' Ron will sing an anonymous piece, 'Is Anybody Here Like Weepin'
Mary.'
I will be in New York City, at the Riverside Church, for a Truth
Commission on Conscience in War, meeting on Sunday and Monday. I have
included a flyer about the gathering in the bulletin to give you more
information about this unprecedented, exciting, and encouraging event.
May it go well with you. Sincerely,
Garland Robertson
