2nd Sunday of Lent
(Daylight Savings Time)

Scripture: Isaiah 40:1–5, 28–31; Hebrews 12:1-2
Sermon:  “Competition? or Collaboration?” by Rev. Mitch Trigger
Music:  Led by Chancel & Exaltation! II Singers

Spiritual Hymn:  Hymn 741 – Guide My Feet
As a Matthew 25 congregation, we are going to join in this time of honoring the contributions of enslaved musicians. Each Sunday in Lent through Easter, we are going to sing and reflect on spirituals from our hymnal and music library. A donation jar will be placed in the back of the sanctuary to collect donations that will be given to the A-Flat Orchestra music program led by Darryl Chamberlain at St. James United Methodist Church in KC, MO. He wants to give every child in Kansas City the chance to learn to play an instrument. Elder Harold Frye frequently contributes donated instruments to this organization.

Mask protocols for this Sunday:   MASKS OPTIONAL

About this week's Spiritual Hymn

  • This African American spiritual is based on the imagery of “the race that is set before us” in Hebrews 12:1–2. Its call-and-response structure allows for the improvisation and addition of stanzas related to an athletic metaphor that is as vivid today as it was centuries ago. Click title for more information.

    Lenten Study — The Hope of Glory
    The class will meet in Heartland Hall or you can join on Zoom.

    Join us as the two adult classes combine for our Lenten book study by Jon Meacham. As for believers worldwide, the events of Good Friday and Easter reveal essential truths about Christianity. A former vestryman of Trinity Church Wall Street and St. Thomas Church Fifth Avenue, Meacham delves into that intersection of faith and history in this meditation on the seven phrases Jesus spoke from the cross.
