Time certainly flies fast. We are heading to 5th Sunday of the Lent. The chancel choir has been preparing our Lenten cantata “At the Ninth hour”. It will be lifted up on April 8th Wednesday at 6:30. The cantata tells a vivid story beginning with Jesus entering into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and ending with His suffering, and crucifixion based on the gospel Mark. While I was praying what we need to focus on for this year, God led me to think about “forgiveness”. Even though we believe and know that we are forgiven by God’s grace through Jesus, I sometimes have hard time to forgive others with a small thing. Like a debtor story; a debtor was redeemed all his enormous debts but he could not redeem a small debt of his friend and being mean to. I would like to ask you all to pray for our Lenten Cantata on April 8th. I do not know how God will lead us through the night but I would like to pray especially for people who have been angry or depressed by any relationship with God or people around them. And may God bring them to the church to feel and hear God’s love and forgiveness through the service, so we all can love and forgive each other through His love. It is just thirty minute words and music but I have prayed that the Lord will use it as a chance to restore our relationships with Him as well as each other. Please join us on April 8th!!And bring your friends, family, and neighbores! With much love, Yoon
