Fifth Sunday of Lent
Lent is the 40-day period (excluding Sundays) that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. Traditionally it is a season of reflection and preparation for Easter, and it commemorates Jesus’ 40 days of fasting in the desert. You may want to read the United Church’s 2020 Lenten devotional, Faithfully Yours, during Lent 2020 for your own time of reflection.

John 11:1–45
​Jesus Raises Lazarus from the Dead

Mary and Martha sent for Jesus when their brother, Lazarus got sick. When Jesus arrived at the home of these good friends, Lazarus had already been dead four days and he was buried in a tomb. Jesus was sad to see his friends so sad. He stood in front of the tomb and called his friend’s name. Lazarus came back to life and came out of the tomb.

Ezekiel 37:1–14
​Valley of Bones

Ezekiel was a Jewish priest who was captured and taken to Babylon a few years after Daniel. God chose him to prophesy about all of the things that were happening back in Jerusalem. After Jerusalem was destroyed, Ezekiel began prophesying about the hope that God would restore the Jews to their land some day. God showed Ezekiel how he could bring a bunch of old dry bones to life. In the same way God could bring his people back to life if they would turn to him.

Fourth Sunday of Lent
The Way of Lent is a path that we travel each year as a time for us to remember Jesus’ journey. On that journey, Jesus met many people. In everything he did, he reminded people of the importance of God in their lives. Jesus talked differently to people who had power and privilege than he did to those who were without. He challenged people with big “asks,” like, “Sell everything you own, and come, follow me!” What does it mean for us to trust God with all that we have, and all that we are? What does it mean for us to trust and follow?

1 Samuel 16: 1-13
Samuel Chooses David as King

David was chosen by God to be the King of Israel.  We know him as the boy who kills Goliath and the mighty man of God who destroys the enemies of God.  He is the chosen King of Israel, the man after God’s own heart.  Yet, his own family had a very different view of him.  David was the overlooked son of the family.  He is the runt of the litter who does not get much respect from his own family.  Yet, God chose him to be His man.  Why did God choose him?  When push came to shove, David would always do what God said to do.  Obedience to God is what moves mountains.  God does not call the qualified He qualifies the called.
God works miracles with the simplest of people who are willing to listen to Him.

John 9:1–41               
Jesus heals the man born blind.

This story reminds us that there is more than one way of being “blind.” That symbolism can be a challenging concept for young children to understand, since they tend to interpret and grasp things in a more literal way. This message aims to express how marvelous, miraculous, and loving Jesus is. It also reminds kids that we need to be open to what God does in our lives, as well as what He wants us to do for others.

Ephesians 5:8–14      Live as children of the light.

We live in a hard, dark world, a world that is dominated and driven by sin. In the midst of that darkness and depravity, God has redeemed a people. He has redeemed a people that He expects to be different. He has redeemed a people He has empowered to be different. The rest of this book tells us how to make that a reality in our lives. 

Psalm 23
God is My Shepherd

He lays down his life for his sheep; he defeats their enemies; he gives his word of truth; and leads them down the proper path. His people “shall not be in want.” They will one day be completely blessed in the knowledge and fellowship of the Lord, but on their journey they shall not lack anything necessary.

​Third Sunday in Lent
Lent is the 40-day period (excluding Sundays) that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday.

Water from the Rock:
The LORD answered Moses, "Walk on ahead of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink." So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel. Exodus 17:5-6 (NIV)

Psalm 95
Through the book of Psalms and the worship of the people of Israel, we get a glimpse into the character of God and how we should rightly respond to Him in worship. In Psalm 95, we’re reminded of the hardness of our hearts apart from Christ and how we need Jesus to replace our hearts of stone with hearts of flesh.

Romans 5:1–11          
​Hope God does not disappoint us.
God has embraced us with his love and favor far beyond any measure. And he did it while we were still his enemies. So now that we are saved, we are assured that he won't give up on us in the future. We truly are at peace with God! We can relax in this kind of love and just enjoy him.

John 4:5–42               
Jesus and the Samaritan woman.
The story of Jesus and the woman at the well reminds us of a couple of essential insights. For one thing, we see Christ’s love for all, and desire that all would know Him and be saved. This reminds us that we want to share the message of Jesus with everyone. Another key element is the blessed hope that Jesus is the “living water” that will truly satisfy. (...) In our lives, we can be spiritually “thirsty”, as well, and need to know that we need Jesus every day to survive.
