The Warm Up - Sunday March 15, 2026

The man born blind can see again----He can see the injustices of the world and can see Jesus as the Son of God---and worships the Lord.  The man born blind becomes a messenger of love and a faithful disciple sharing the Good News.  What blindness needs healing in our lives?  What are we missing and not seeing around us?  Can we truly see the Lord in our lives?

Lent is a wonderful time to look at the areas of our lives that need repair, upgrades and renovation. We need to embrace a new perspective on Christ and how we are supposed to live our lives. Are you ready to climb up the mountain and seek change?

The Warm Up - Sunday March 8, 2026

Our Lenten journey seeks to radically change our lives---drawing closer to Christ who brings us true joy through the living water of love, mercy, grace and peace He offers each of us.  Will we seek the well of 'living water' or will we simply be be preoccupied with the well that always runs dry and leaves us thirsty for truth, meaning and purpose?

The Warm Up - Sunday February 22, 2026

Happy Lent everyone!!  We enter into the 40 days of this holy season and we hear Jesus lead by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.  Jesus was tempted to be someone other than himself----Lent helps us stay true to who God has made us to be.  The source of our happiness is to live as God made us---sharing who we are and what we have with others as faithful disciples.
