    "Come Follow Me - An Invitation"

    Christ invites, he beckons each of us to come to him.  When we answer the call to follow, we allow Christ to carry the burden.  We recognize the  journeys of those around us and do so in fellowship with one another.  Jesus extends the boundless love and mercy of God to all of us.  His peace, which passes all understanding on our part, is extended for all of us.  His invitation is to all.  Will you accept His invitation to follow Him this Lent?
