Lent and Easter 2021
“Cast your nets to the right side”
| Easter 2021 |
Let us explore what Jesus might be saying to us as we consider the story of the disciples meeting the resurrected Jesus for the third time after they have had an unsuccessful night of fishing. How is Jesus reaching out to you as you spend time with Him. He invites you to sit with Him, to rest in His presence as He guides us in the way to go. Readings John 21:1-14

How do you respond to Jesus?
| Palm Sunday |
It’s Palm Sunday and Jesus enters into Jerusalem, riding on a donkey. He comes to bring His Kingdom of Peace and Justice. How will you respond to His entry? Do you back away in fear? Join the hype of the crowd but then fade away as His popularity wanes? Do you offer your resources for Him to use? Do you follow Him obediently wherever He leads you? Readings Matthew 21:1-11
