Taking the Sermon Home
This week's readings are from Ezekiel 37 and John 11.+In the well-known passage from Ezekiel, the dry bones representing Israel received prophecy and then the Lord breathed new life into them. What is a parched situation in your life or in our world, which you yearn could receive “new breath” and life from God?
+This is the last of our stories from John during Lent. What do you learn about the human side of Jesus through this account?
+I am the resurrection and the life, proclaims Jesus to Martha. What does this phrase mean to you? What difference does it make to your everyday life?

Time For Healing...A Time for Quiet Contemplation at South Miami Lutheran
We yearn for serenity--a time apart from our hectic lives to find peace and calm.
"A Time for Healing," is a meditation and contemplation time held in the sanctuary of South Miami Lutheran on the first and third Mondays of the month from 7 to 7:45pm. There is quiet music, occasional spoken word, and time for silence. The next gathering will be announced once the campus is re-opened.
Bible Study: Acts
Join in a Bible study on the Book of Acts! The group meets every other Sunday at 11am; the next gathering will occur once the church facility re-opens. Learn how the world of the early church speaks to our lives today.
