Gathered In

We continue with our Lenten series, “Filled to the Brim,” leaning into abundant life, or life “full of the Spirit,” in the way God hopes and intends. Our scripture passage for this second Sunday in Lent has us contemplating the nature of God. Jesus describes himself in a somewhat surprising way…like a mother hen who wants to gather in all of her baby chicks. When and how do we resist being gathered in by the God of unconditional love? Who today is in need of being and feeling gathered?
