March 22, 2025. The Need for Time

Dear Hope Friends,
Wednesday evening (3/19) when Serena and I were picking up Van for Hope's Wednesday night programming (which was a great night, by the way), we ran out to the car parked at the church while being pelted by hail. By the time we crossed Veteran's, it was just raining, and pulling up to the house, Van ran out to the car in bright sunshine! Later Serena told Ryan, "We experienced THREE different kinds of weather in one car ride!!"

Kind of like life, right? You don't know what weather you'll face in one day and sometimes you just want a second chance, and other times you just need a minute. We all know what our faith has to say about this, you can have a million chances and a million minutes, but we always need to be reminded of this.

I'll be joining you for worship online tomorrow morning while Greta Long preaches and shares about the parable of the fig tree, looking at seasons of rest and seasons of growth.
In It With You, Jennie

P.S. For the most part, I have stayed off facebook during Lent. And I've loved it - it will likely continue! If there is something you would like me to know about your life (especially in grief, pain, or need), and you sort of assume I've seen a post, I have not. But I have not stopped caring about you - please don't be shy to email jennie@behopechurch.org or submit a prayer request on the app!
