Everything [in] Between: Rest & Growth

This Sunday is the 5th Sunday in Lent and the scripture passage is the parable of the Fig Leaf from Luke 13:6-9. Pastor Teresa’s sermon continues the Lenten worship series “Everything [in] Between” and focuses on rest and growth.

We believe in a God who loves and tends to us like a gardener.
We believe that like the trees,
some seasons are for growth,
and some seasons are for rest.
Some days require pruning,
and some require planting.
Fortunately, we believe that our green-thumbed God
sees us and cultivates the sweetest fruit.
So may we plant roots,
reach for the sky,
grow where we can,
and rest when we need,
for we believe there is holiness in the pruning and
in the planting. And we do not grow alone.
Thanks be to God,
Amen.
