Tonight we hosted the community Lenten Service at our church. It was a really nice affair. We had close to 100 people. All of the ministers participated and I preached on Luke 10:38-42, the story of Martha and Mary. My point was simply this: We often rush through Lent and are too busy to stop and spend time with Jesus in prayer and reflection. There is plenty of time to do the work of transforming the kingdon. Jesus wasn't condemning Martha's work effort, just reminding her that sometimes there was something better or more important to do.
Our choir sang and Tom Jeffers from Lee Memorial United Methodist accompanied us with his cello. It was a real nice piece. Afterwards almost everyone stayed to have a snack and share some conversation. Mark and Pam Kane took charge in setting everything up and they had some help from Dick and Cynthia Strouse and a few others.
