Every Lent #SLECBuffalo gathers with the UMC, UCC, and ELCA congregations for a Wednesday night soup supper and worship.
Today is the last one of the series. Hopefully we’ll have a full house as we eat, converse, and then worship with #EveningPrayer on this #FeastOfTheAnnunciation
It’s the #FifthSundayInLent today. Today we enter with the #GreatLitany and the sermon is about binding and being unbound.
I really should have something more profound, but that’s as good as it gets today.
On the plus side, I get to pray that we “beat down Satan under our feet.”
Our food pantry operations manager called me this morning and said she received a credible threat from a patron who had just been suspended for abusive behavior.
Legally there’s nothing we can do, but I called the PD to have an officer meet with us about the situation. I’d much rather do this sooner rather than after an attack.
Things I missed in seminary.

Going to put in a public appearance at the middle school at a vigil for a student who recently died by suicide.
I didn’t know the kid nor do I know the family, but I have youth group kids who knew him and, being in a small town, this is something I need to be at.
For the first time since I’ve been at Saint Luke’s, the tower bell froze and I was unable to ring it for the 8:00 service. Hopefully the current sunshine will melt the ice enough for it to be rung at the second service.
I don’t think it was the cold as much as it was the wind that froze the snow to the rigging.

There’s not much more frustrating to me than to have an idea for a sermon but not able to find the right words to express that idea.
