When Hope Episcopal Church begins offering weekly Morning Prayer during Lent, Kendra Lacy volunteers to lead the short service for a small but dedicated group of her fellow parishioners, believing, as always, that when two or three are gathered in God's name, He is there.Together they navigate the prayer book, discovering new prayers and songs of praise and rediscovering some old favorites. And during each service that she leads, Lacy also offers a short reflection on that day's assigned Gospel reading.Her micro sermons, presented here in this book, read like devotionals as Lacy weaves together her past and present, focusing on relationships with family and friends and drawing on her experiences as a teacher to answer important questions. What gets us up out of bed in the morning? Who are we to God? What does it mean to be filled with the spirit? Does God care about me? How can I feel God's presence in this world?Sharing her own stories, Lacy embraces her own flaws and weaknesses as she seeks to relay the inspirational message of the Gospels-that you are loved more than you could ever imagine.
