‘God doesn’t care about the past— God cares if you are good with God today.’ 
~ Pastor Bart, on Easter morning, in a snowbank, guitar in hand 🙂
A short video will play here by Dalene Rayburn (from Psalm 90: Number our Days, session two)

Ideas for Conversation

• Any thoughts on Dalene’s message about reckoning with the past to start again?
• Letting Go of the Past — and how that means forgiveness to start anew …
• Can you forgive yourself and have a ‘fresh start’?
• What does ‘resurrection’ mean in today’s world or what does ‘resurrection’ mean to you today?

• Picking up a thread from Lent, we ask ourselves if we can truly skip judging (or condemning) others when forgiving or empathizing with those in new beginnings?
• Do you know someone who has ‘started over’? Or maybe you have?
• Did you feel ‘judged’, or ‘supported’? And why did that matter personally when joining or reintegrating into a community?
• How can we play a role — even a passive listening-type one — to help bring Jesus and the spirit of God to someone on a fresh start?
• Remembering to keep our egos in check and knowing when to back off: “I had to come to the conclusion that I’m not the Holy Spirit.” ~ Anon
• Shedding the guilt & feeling “worthy” makes it easier not to judge others, but rather to emphasize on challenges with new beginnings…
• Closing Prayers
