Unique Service Opportunity:
A local band “THE SENIOR MOMENTS” is looking for some help!
The band performs on a volunteer basis for various Sun City organizations and at retirement homes and similar venues, presenting a one-hour variety show. The sound and related equipment (mic stands, speakers, PA, etc) has become burdensome to lift and move. They are looking for help loading and unloading their equipment for “gigs.” Benefits to student "roadies" include helping to provide free entertainment to other seniors as well as being involved in producing and presenting events. (These are eligible for Community Crusade service hours, too.) Volunteers will be provided a modest tip to cover gas money. The Show dates and times are ongoing with the first show scheduled for March 14, 2020. They are hoping to have a pool of individuals from which to contact as events are scheduled. Please contact Stephen Yohay by cell: 703.407.3003 or by email: scyohay@gmail.com if you are interested.

DEVOTIONAL
Today’s Reading: Genesis 3:1-21
“I will put hostility between you and the woman, between your seed and her seed, He will bruise your head and you shall bruise His heel.” (Genesis 3:15)
Merry Lent! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Merry and happy Lent! What comfort! God shows us why there was the Garden, and the Tree in the midst of the Garden. It’s all there so that Jesus will save you!
All mankind fell in Adam. Every man and woman sinned when our first father fell. That’s called original or inherited sin. Even if we all lived perfect lives, we’d still be condemned in Adam’s sin. Yet we all sin. Our lives aren’t perfect because we all commit actual sin. Therefore, from the time of the fall, death reigned because all men sinned.
God doesn’t fly by the seat of His pants. Satan may pull the wool over the eyes of Adam and his wife, but God knows what is up with the snake. He runs circles around Satan. Nothing is missed. In fact, God takes all the evil Satan does and uses it to save you.
In the Garden, moments after the fall, God promises to send His Son. Jesus is true man born of the Virgin Mary. Jesus is also true God, begotten of His Father from all eternity. Unlike the first Adam, the promised Second Adam doesn’t fall.
This is where Lent gets merry! Jesus on the Cross strikes the serpent’s head but is Himself struck! Jesus conquers the serpent and dies in the battle. Death, the judgment on mankind, the power of sin, is the means by which God undoes death and sin! He saves you by dying!
All that Satan did, all that he tried to do, every evil thing that he did to Jesus in the Gospels, all works out to save you. The temptation, the demons Jesus cast out, Judas’ betrayal, the soldiers’ mocking, the beatings, even the crucifixion, are all used by God to bring about salvation for the sons and daughters of Adam! Even the crown they used to mock Him is simply Jesus’ redeeming you from the curse of thorns and thistles (Genesis 3:18).
So why is the Tree in the midst of the Garden? Before you give an answer that sounds right, give the reason that God gives at the fall: so God could save you in Jesus. God promises it! The Tree is there so that God would send His Son to strike the head of the serpent and to die by the serpent’s strike. God does all that He does, He says all that He says, He overcomes Satan in every way, in order to save you in Jesus. Merry Lent! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. –Rev. George Borghardt
