First Sunday of Lent ~ The Good News Is So Good it Catches Us by Surprise
Lent has begun and this year, we are doing something a little different for Lent by focusing on “the good news!” John's Gospel doesn't begin with a temptation story; instead, it opens Jesus’ ministry with a wedding miracle. It may feel a bit lavish to start the season of Lent with a wedding banquet, but the good news begins with joy. This week we focus on the subversive and playful nature of the good news. The kin-dom of heaven is so good it should catch us by surprise!
