About this week's worship:
Simon and some Pharisees host a dinner for Jesus and an unexpected guest arrives: a woman from the city who kneels at Jesus’ feet and washes him with expensive perfume. Simon scoffs at this party foul, but Jesus reorients his focus, asking him to truly see the woman and recognize that she has shown “great love,” offering the tender hospitality he was not granted when he entered Simon’s home. The woman with the alabaster jar shows a shocking, extravagant love that exemplifies the Greatest Commandment: to love God with all your heart, soul and mind and to love your neighbor as yourself. Will the other guests see that loving God goes hand in hand with loving neighbor? We’ve paired this story with Jesus’ words in Matthew 25. When we care for the hungry, the naked, the imprisoned—each of whom are created in the image of God—we are showing love for God, too.

About our Lenten worship series:
Lent was originally a season for new converts to learn and prepare for their baptisms on Easter. During that time, they would study what was central to Christianity. When we seek what is central to Jesus’ life and ministry we find: radical welcome, love for neighbor, care for the vulnerable, nourishment for the hungry, nonviolence in the face of injustice. In short, Jesus’ teachings are full of liberation, love, mercy, and grace – all of which are meant to be very good news for us all.

This Lent, let us remember that the good news really is good news. It is joyful – like fine wine saved for celebration. It grows like a mustard seed and smells like perfume poured from an alabaster jar. It tastes like bread passed endlessly through a hungry crowd. It sounds like laughter and feels like mercy. The good news is alive in the world.
