Week 3 of "How to Keep a Holy Lent." Each day includes a suggested tip or spiritual practice for observing Lent. Come join us on the journey as we #OpenOurLives to God!
THIS SATURDAY! It’s time for some messy fun together! Join us for a Zoom Meet-Up as we explore the theme “Pets and Peace” and all the wonderful ways God asks us to care for creation. All are welcome! RSVP for the Zoom details at https://buff.ly/3l2gbf2 or contact Tricia (t.guerrero@santamonicaumc.org) for more information.⠀
Worship online tomorrow at 10 a.m. as we continue our journey through Lent. Then join Zoom Coffee Hour at 11 a.m. for some community and conversation. Bring your own coffee and donuts!
In this week's scene from John's Gospel, Jesus is so angry at what he sees as commercialization and desecration of the temple that he upends the tables and drives the money changers out. Are there things going on that just seem wrong to us--too many homeless brothers and sisters...too many children living in poverty...people needing to line up to get a bag of food?⠀
