From Pastor Molly: Lenten Rule of Life
This coming Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, the first day of the season of Lent. In these weeks before Easter, we are invited to undertake special focus on our lives of faith—to take up spiritual practices that deepen our connection to God, and that help us love our neighbors.
This year, I invite you to join me in naming specific ways that we will put faith into practice. I invite you to join me in setting a specific Rule of Life for the season. A Rule of Life is a set of promises you make, about ways you want to live and things you want to do. I’m asking you to make a set of five promises, one to match each of the five commitments that we make in becoming members of this congregation, that we would support the work of the church with our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service and our witness.
I’ll say more about this Sunday, and will be encouraging you to write your own set of promises. Then, as a community, we can encourage one another along the way.
I will lead an Orientation to this Lenten practice on Sunday, February 14, at 9:30 or 11:45. If you are willing to try this practice for the whole season, I hope you will join me then. Each week of the season, we will focus on one of the five commitments, giving more opportunities for you to try following a Rule of Life.
Wherever you are in your life of faith, I pray that this will be a season of deepening commitment, and a way of drawing ever closer to the life-giving love of God.[Pastor Molly Vetter]
In Worship This Week
Sunday, February 7
Transfiguration Sunday
Scripture: Luke 9:28-36
Scripture Text: Luke 9:28 About a week after Yeshua said these things, he took Kefa, Yochanan and Ya‘akov with him and went up to the hill country to pray. 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed; and his clothing became gleaming white. 30 Suddenly there were two men talking with him — Moshe and Eliyahu! 31 They appeared in glorious splendor and spoke of his exodus, which he was soon to accomplish in Yerushalayim. 32 Kefa and those with him had been sound asleep; but on becoming fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving Yeshua, Kefa said to him, not knowing what he was saying, “It’s good that we’re here, Rabbi! Let’s put up three shelters — one for you, one for Moshe and one for Eliyahu.” 34 As he spoke, a cloud came and enveloped them. They were frightened as they entered the cloud; 35 and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen. Listen to him!” 36 When the voice spoke, Yeshua was alone once more. They kept quiet — at that time they told no one anything of what they had seen.
---------------------
John Wesley's Notes-Commentary for Luke 9:28-36
Verse 28
[28] And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
Matthew 17:1; Mark 9:2.
Verse 31
[31] Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
In glory — Like Christ with whom they talked.
Verse 32
[32] But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
They saw his glory — The very same expression in which it is described by St. John, John 1:14; and by St. Peter, 2 Peter 1:16.
Verse 34
[34] While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
A cloud came and overshadowed them all. And they, the apostles, feared, while they (Moses and Elijah) entered into the cloud, which took them away.

News From Our Members
"Last Sunday following worship I found myself stopped in the aisle by about eight women of our church. Trying to be funny, I asked which of our circles this group was. It turns out they were all planning on attending our church Women's Retreat in Montecito (Santa Barbara) and were discussing who would ride with each person driving. They assured me they had over twenty women who would be there with Rev. Nicole leading the group. Sounds as if it will be a big success for them..."

What better way to respond to their work than by supporting the LGBT Homeless Shelter?

Remembering last Sunday's sermon by Pastor Molly Vetter about love and 1 Corinthians 13: 1-13, a longtime friend of mine, the late Bob Content of Hermosa Beach who use to attend Wilshire United Methodist Church had as his life-long project, a saying that went like this: "Love one another teaches us to disagree wthout being disagreeable." In his many contacts with children as students, fellow campers, etc., he always made sure they heard this phrase. It was his message to the world which, if followed, could truly make us better.
This Sunday, February 7, we share a Mardi Gras pancake breakfast between services and I'll be looking for a few friends there. We also get to support our church Shared Bread program with food, money and love. See you about 9:15am.
