This Sunday in Feb 16 Worship

Dear Grace Family,

Happy Valentine’s Day! Last year, Valentine’s Day fell on Ash Wednesday. That was kind of an odd mash-up of two very different holidays. We had our Ash Wednesday service when we remember we are dust and to dust we shall return on the same day that we celebrated love. Then we added into the mix a parade in downtown Kansas City to celebrate our back-to-back Super bowl wins. During the celebration we experienced the tragedy of gun shots in the crowd where many were injured and one person lost her life. What a strange mix of emotions all in one 24-hour period. I am praying that this year will be less eventful.

On Sunday, Pastor Mitch and I will switch places as we continue our sermon series on Gandhi’s Seven Deadly Social Sins. This week our subject is “Worship Without Sacrifice.” Mitch will preach the traditional worship, and I will lead at Common Grace. We are looking forward to exploring some important questions. Why do we come to worship? What does God expect from us? and What difference should worship play in how we live our lives during the week? It is going to be a great Sunday at Grace.

See you in worship!
