As you prepare for worship, consider these amazing words of truth and forgiveness;
“There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption
that came by Christ Jesus.” Romans 3:23-24
Yes, we have all sinned. Yes, we can all receive grace and forgiveness from Christ. Your loved. You are forgiven. Worship God!

Next Week
While it is relatively easy to see someone else’s hypocrisy, it is hard to see it in ourselves...especially those who think of themselves as very religious. Jesus had a way of pointing out hypocrisy of religious leaders at those times the religious leaders were trying to point out how Jesus was not very religious. Next week, we’ll explore an encounter where Jesus heals a woman in deep need and people complain that he did it on the wrong day. How often have people trying to serve those in need been criticized by hypocrites? Invite your family and friends to join us next week as we continue on our journey towards Easter.
Today’s flowers are in loving memory of Helen Monroe, who was gentle at heart and yet a strong spirited soul that faithfully served, touched and
blessed the life of Monte Vista.
