Coming Up Sunday, March 17

We will gather on Sunday for our final Lenten worship before Palm Sunday.  In honor of St. Patrick's day, I imagine there will be a significant amount of green on display, which should be fun as the promise of spring comes closer.  Also, we will have a special moment to blessing the newest baby in our midst, which should make the day extra special.

In the sermon, we'll skip ahead during the Hebrews' years in the wilderness to the time when they are nearing the promised land.  Moses sent 12 spies into Canaan to scout out the land and its inhabitants.  Upon their return, 10 of the 12 advised finding another leader and returning to Egypt.  All agreed that the land was abundant, but 10 worried that the Hebrews could not possibly conquer it.  We'll consider their fearful report, "And We Saw Giants There," and what it might mean for us, on Sunday.
