Ocala First Connection

Journey to the Cross:The Way of Discipleship For the season of Lent, our church will be taking on the "40-day Challenge" of reading the entire Gospel of Mark. Visit us here (starting March 5th) to read the daily scripture text, reflections from the congregation, and prayers to challenge and sustain you through this church season.  In the meantime, here's a quick clip we're borrowing from a Methodist church in California:

 And again he said, ‘To what should I compare the kingdom of God? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened.’ ~Luke 13:20-21 "The Art of Making Bread" by Tiger in a Jar God, like a bakerwoman, You bring the leaven which causes our hopes to rise. With your strong and gentle hands, shape our lives. Warm us with your love. Take our common lives and touch them with your grace, That we may nourish hope among humanity. We pray trusting in your name, through Jesus our Christ. Amen -- Ruth Duck, United Methodist Book of Worship
