Taking the Plunge ...
It's hard to learn how to swim without getting in the water.
Can you imagine trying to teach by standing on dry land, demonstrating the movement of arms, legs, and breathing of the breast stroke?
I guess it would be possible to begin learning that way, but...
It would be impossible to learn the value of FLOATING, for instance, unless you are actually in the water.
You can't describe it to someone who has never floated.
Finally, you just have to GET IN THE WATER.
That is what faith is about. Getting in the water. You'll never learn to "swim" unless you do.
We'll talk more on Sunday at Salem - 8:15 or 10:30.
See you then!

We hear every day about the mighty and powerful having fallen from their pedestals (eg. New York's governor).
The difference with Jesus is that he deliberately allowed himself to be adored in the Palm Procession, ALL THE WHILE KNOWING that it would not last, and that he would be sacrified for the salvation of all the world!
What kind of love does that take?
Next week we experience Holy Week with opportunities to worship, pray and hear beautiful music on Thurs, Friday and Saturday evenings, as well as Easter Sunday morning 8:15 and 10:30.
> Thursday 7:00 pm celebrates the Last Supper of Christ and holy communion is served to all who come.
> Friday 7:00 pm explores Jesus' Passion with opportunity to ask forgiveness for my own sin and "nail them to the cross" - literally.
> Saturday 7:00 pm is an experience in discovering the Risen Christ and what difference He makes in our lives!
EASTER SUNDAY WORSHIP will be a joyous celebration at 8:15 and 10:30 a.m. March 23rd. Nursery care is available throughout the morning. Come and See!
