Dear Members and
Friends of Mount Hermon, |

Celebrate Christ
Together! |

Many ask why we
observe the church calendar. It’s also good to
ask ourselves that from time to time. It’s so
easy to take for granted what we do week in and
week out at church, but it’s all to help us grow
and experience Christ in new and powerful ways.
Lent is not a time
to feel sorry for ourselves and to dwell on
missed opportunities. It is a time to take a
good, hard look within and see where we can grow
as people of God. When we look at our
congregation and our own gifts we see SO MUCH
POTENTIAL. Now is a time to tap into that
potential (yes, including YOUR potential) and
grow the kingdom in our midst.
A fresh way to read Romans 12, a powerful call
to discipleship…
“Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God.
Make your ordinary, workaday life a gift and
offer it to Our Father to transform. This is the
true worship you should offer Him. Don’t let
what ‘everybody does’ justify you. Offer
yourself to be changed, from inside out. Don’t
lower yourself to everyone’s expectations, but
raise yourself to what God can do with you.
Then you will find what God intended you to be.”
Romans 12:1-2 (from Lenten Prayers for Busy
People) |
