Thought about this week's Scripture
from Rev. Antonieta Wyrick
This Sunday we will talk about the Transfiguration of the Lord Jesus the Christ. Matthew 17: 1-9 tells us that Immediately before Jesus takes Peter, John, and James up the mountain he tells them and the others that he must suffer, die, and be resurrected on the third day. He will tell them this again after they come down from the mountain. And they go up a mountain – Jesus, and Peter, James, and John. And when they get to the mountaintop, Jesus is transfigured he’s transformed his face shines, his clothes become a dazzling white. Peter, James, and John watch and all of a sudden they see Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus. And they remember Jesus saying, “I’ve come not to tear down the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them.” And then a voice from heaven: “This is my Son, the beloved; with whom I am well-pleased. Listen to him.” These are the same words we hear at Jesus’s baptism and also what Peter cried out just six days ago:
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” |

“You Raise Me Up”
You are invited to Journey UMC on Ash Wednesday, February 18, 2026 Service at 6:00pm. Ash Wednesday is the start of the Lenten season. We will have a worship service with the imposition of ashes, scripture, music, and a focus on repentance, prayer, and self-examination as the church begins its 40-day journey toward Easter. What Are You Up To? Lent is often known as a time of giving something up in order to make room in our lives for spiritual pursuits. Rather than just “giving up” in Lent, the scriptures ask us to consider all that Jesus is “up to” and all that he asks us to be up to in his name. Instead of bemoaning what we can’t do, or used to do, in a culture where “measuring up” to external standards seems impossible, this Lent we will celebrate the small things that we can do right now to respond to God's call in our place, for our time. If you are unable to attend the 6 p.m. Ash Wednesday service, Journey UMC will be offering a drive-thru imposition of ashes in the parking lot 7:30AM-11AM.

"Believe Like Jesus"
Journey UMC Lenten Study begins on Tuesday, Feb. 17th at 7:00pm via Zoom. As Christians, we’ve always been asked to live our faith out loud. While we may feel silenced by the sheer number of challenges we face, the present times demand that we dig deep into our spiritual lives so we can be bold voices for love, for a shared purpose, and for a common vision. By living our faith in Jesus, we can transform the world and manifest the Kingdom of God here on earth. These 40 days (Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday) of transformation invite you to shift from believing in Jesus to believing like Jesus, from rising from faith in Jesus to the faith of Jesus, from being a disciple to being an apostle, all to become more Christ-like. Books cost $22.50 if you want a hard copy. It is also available on Kindle to purchase for $9.99. Sign up on Sunday to participate. Or send an email to [email protected] |
This burst of cold weather may have you looking forward to the upcoming summer heat! But while Summer is coming, our AC system is failing. Let us pray for a "Cool Journey" and read Luke 15:8-10 as we prepare for a Giving Campaign to replace the AC/Heating system for upstairs in our building.
