Perchance you have nothing to do on a Wednesday evening and find yourself in the Windsor area, you now have some plans! I will be speaking on chaplaincy work with St. Leonard's House at St. Mark's by the Lake in Tecumseh.
During this season of Lent, St. Mark's has a series of lectures on justice Wednesday evenings leading up to Easter. April 1st, this coming Wednesday, I will be sharing my story of faith in Jesus Christ, and my heart for offenders at St. Leonard's. My talk is titled, "Why I'll choose criminal's over church-folk any day!"
The title has already raised a few eyebrows. Allow me to qualify my title and say that church-folk and the body of Christ are not necessarily synonymous:
Mark 2 says,
16When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the "sinners" and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: "Why does he eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?"
17On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
I'm interested in spending time with the same crew that Jesus spent time with.The service is at 7:00pm, hope to see you there!
