Journeying to Jerusalem: Unpacking Our Perspectives
FMC is looking at our perspective during our journey to Jerusalem during Lent. Each Sunday focuses on a different perspective: bias, condemnation, priorities, selfishness, blinders, expectations. Sunday school for both children and adults takes a deeper dive into each of these priorities, asking us all to look within ourselves.
We are also experiencing Lent through the musical Godspell. Youth Sunday School classes have been looking at the teachings of Jesus through the lens of the music and scenes from the 1973 movie. Adult choir has been singing songs during the service that also reflect these priorities, and some of the songs from the musical as well. Each Sunday we experience God’s grace given to us through “sustenance”: Rugelach, peanut butter cups, mini ice cream sandwiches, and chai tea.
We have also had our children help “flower the cross.” Each Sunday, more flowers were added to the cross.
