Are You In Denial?

“You aren’t one of his disciples too, are you?” He denied it, saying, “I am not.” One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, challenged him, “Didn’t I see you with him in the garden?” Again Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began to crow. --From John 18:25-27

Be Bold

Ash Wednesday began our season of Lent. Be bold in your Lenten discipline. Take this time to make a lifelong change in adding a holy habit or destroying a bad practice. I was able to impose ashes on four humans and one dog during the daytime hours and about 20 people during our 1/2 hour (okay, 32 minutes) worship service. God strengthen you and keep you as you struggle with your Lent.

In the name of God,

Pastor Curtis.
