Lenten Worship Series @Lynnewood
Tell me something good

“Tell me something good…tell me that you love me”, so goes a famous song by Chaka Khan and Rufus. We long to hear good news, don’t we?  We long to know that we are loved, cherished and not alone.  Good news is the heart and spirit of Jesus.  Good news is what our faith is all about.  In a world of hurt and confusion, Jesus is still good news.  That is what we will celebrate during this season of Lent. Jesus’ ministry can be described as “radical” meaning “root” or “ground.”  As we prepare for Easter, we will ground ourselves in the essence of Jesus’  life and teaching.  We’ll go back to our roots – and maybe we’ll hear the good news as if it were the very first time.  Together, we will remember that Jesus offers surprising joy, radical welcome, mercy, abundance, care for the vulnerable, forgiveness, and unending growth and new life.  This is good news for all!
