Ash Wednesday (next week), IF:Gathering, New Groups
Dear Family of God,
Today’s reading (John 21:1-15) has one of my favorite Jesus quotes:
Come and have breakfast! (John 21:12)
Jesus is always hospitable and welcoming.
And the story surrounding this breakfast invitation is a powerful reminder. The disciples fished all night on their own strength and came up empty, but when they obeyed Jesus they came up abundantly.
So, today! Let us listen to the One who meets us after our weary nights, and let us obey Him and experience abundance and intimacy with Him.
Follow the Daily Readings with our Sermon Reflections.
Be encouraged by our messages from this weekend:

Preparing for Lent
“Lent” is the season the church spends focused on the time before Jesus’ death. It is a season we are invited to practice “dying to ourselves” by giving up something and replacing it with prayer or worship.
We begin our Lenten Season with our Ash Wednesday Service at 7PM on March 2 at our Stillmeadow Lane Campus. We will conclude our Lenten Season with Prayer Week Services on April 11-15.
Once again, Stillmeadow Nazarenes have worked together to produce a Lenten Devotional Guide that you can use for personal time with Jesus. Each Sunday features a “Family Guide” that households can use together. You can pick up a guide on Sunday February 27 or sign up to get the daily devos in your inbox at the button below.
