Mary’s Gift by Daniel Bonnell

There is a beautiful and difficult moment in John’s gospel chapter 12 when Mary anoints Jesus feet to prepare him for his death that is coming. It’s an expression of acceptance and love that is unparalleled in the gospels. And along with it comes the controversy of the extravagance of the offering and how it counters Jewish law at the time. If you have 10 minutes to experience the scene, watch this clip from an episode of “The Chosen”, a beautiful recent series on the life of Jesus and the disciples –https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUFQATCflXc. And join us on Sunday for the 5th Sunday of Lent, communion, prayers, and worship together as God’s beloved community either on-site or online at 10am.

]]> 25719 Join Us for Worship This Sunday at 10 am (March 21, 2021) https://fcc-winchester.com/latest-news/join-us-for-worship-this-sunday-at-10-am-march-21-2021/ Fri, 19 Mar 2021 14:25:44 +0000 https://fcc-winchester.com/?p=10588 It’s the fifth Sunday in Lent. The scriptures – Jeremiah 31 and Psalm 51 – both deal with the Lenten theme of Sin. Which can sound like a dour and depressing service but when we engage with God about our Sin the result is a closer relationship with God and with ourselves. We will pray together, sing (apart) and praise God in the run up to Holy Week, culminating on Easter morning at 6:00 a.m. We hope that you will join us on Sunday morning at 10:00 or when you can find a quiet hour to worship.
