2020 Lent Lectionary: How Can These Things Be?

The reflection for this season is a poem by Laura Martin, Associate Pastor at Rock Spring Congregational United Church of Christ in Arlington, VA, who has graciously given us permission to use it in full in our bulletin. It begins, “For God so loves the world/That she gives us awe/Shivers on our arms/Shooting stars…” If you are on Facebook, you can read the rest of the poem at https://www.facebook.com/pg/lauramartinpoetry/posts/?ref=page_internal
