GREETINGS FROM WORSHIP PLANNERS – SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2026

A ZOOM SERVICE

Matthew 13:31-32

Finding the Good

A miniscule seed grows into a sheltering tree so large that birds nest in it! Jesus compares the mustard tree to the Kingdom of Heaven. These are happy Bible verses!

The God of Small Things, (1997) by Arundhati Roy, is a haunting novel set in India. It explores how small, seemingly insignificant occurrences, decisions, experiences, shape people’s lives in deeply significant ways. Like the tiny mustard seed, the mere brush with a stranger, or even with an idea, may grow into something quite unexpected!

On this first Sunday of Lent, we begin a time of reflection and contemplation. We look for the good in places both usual and surprising.

Join us on Zoom at 4 pm, as Rev. Carl Hilton VanOsdall considers the insights we can draw from the small, common, mustard seed. Together, we’ll hear joys and concerns and we’ll celebrate Communion as we do at CCP every Sunday.

Tom Jones is our musician. Zoom codes appear in your Sunday morning email.
