As we move through Lent this year, our theme is “Tell Me Something Good: Grounding Ourselves in the Good News.” We are going to look at the things that were central to Jesus’ life and ministry: radical welcome, love for neighbor, care for the vulnerable, nourishment for the hungry, nonviolence in the face of injustice. At the heart of Jesus’ teachings, we find liberation, love, mercy, and grace—all of which are meant to be very good news for us all. While we are focusing on grounding ourselves in the good news of Jesus this season, we are not ignoring the world around us. Jesus' teachings ground us in the good news, while they push us to grow and expand like branches reaching to the sky, doing our part to bring the good news of Jesus to the world.
