The Color of Light

Rev. Dr. Carolyn Scanlan-Holmes • March 15, 2023

The Colors of Lent: Yellow

Perhaps you have seen some of these modern day medical miracles, such as children hearing for the first time or a teen seeing herself for the very first time after receiving a cornea transplant. We witness many of these amazing moments because someone is near by with a smart phone and thinks to capture the magic moment. This Sunday, we read about a miracle. As we will have only the written word, we must use our imaginations to paint the picture of what happened. We will look at how Jesus brought sight to a blind man and light to the world. Join us for The Color of Light.
