Our Lectionary readings for next Sunday, the Fourth Sunday of Lent, are 1 Samuel 16:1-13; Psalm 23; Ephesians 5:8-13; and John 9:1-41.

"You're not the boss of me!" That's an assertion that expresses a strong sense that we don't any sense of guidance or direction from anyone but ourselves. How different that is from the confession of king David in Psalm 23: "The Lord is my shepherd." What a remarkable claim that follows for the life willing to follow God's guidance: "I shall not want."

We will have a congregational meeting in the next three to six weeks.

Our next Old Testament study is tentatively scheduled for after the morning service, March 22. Bring a sack-lunch!
