    The Questions Jesus Asks

    March 9: “If you just love those who love you, where’s the win in that?”

    March 16: “If you’ve lost your ‘saltiness,’ how do you get it back?”

    March 23: “Who of you can worry enough to add a cubit to your life?”

    April 6: “Why do you doubt?”

    April 13: “To what shall I compare this generation…?”

    The Great Sanctuary will be open for prayer from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. commemorating the hours that Jesus hung upon the cross until he breathed his last. His arms outstretched, he lifted the world to God’s love in God’s love. On this day we remember, we stand at the foot of the cross and also pray for our world. Please come to pray and wonder. A brief service of readings and prayer will commence at noon. All are welcome.
