MESSAGE FROM JOHN
PUTTING LIFE INTO PERSPECTIVE: WHY WE CELEBRATE LENT
Maybe you are a fairly selfdisciplined
person. Maybe
you keep your regimens,
watch what you eat,
exercise regularly, and try
to live your life measuring
all things carefully,
including your words and
thoughts. Not everyone is
good at this. Whether you are disciplined or not, we
all need to walk through seasons of reflection and
preparation that help us become better humans.
Lent, the 40 days before Easter not including
Sundays, is a season in the church where we practice
restraint, fasting, prayer, and giving. We deny
ourselves things so we might become more prayerful
and reflective, and grow even more in life. Why?
Because no matter who we are or how disciplined
we are, there is always room for improvement. The
Apostle Paul bore witness to this when he wrote in
Philippians 1:21, “For me, living is Christ and dying
is gain.” He knew there were parts of his life that
had to die so Christ could live even more in him.
Lent begins with Ash Wednesday. On that day,
Christians mark their foreheads with ashes in the
sign of the cross. The ashes remind us that we are
mortal and that life is fragile. The cross reminds us
of the eternal life we share even in the midst of our
mortality. As the ashes are placed on our foreheads,
we hear the words “Remember that you are dust,
and to dust you will return.” While it sounds
quite morbid, it is an important, central lesson of
our Christian faith – all things are passing away,
including us. While our eternal home is secure in
heaven, our life on this earth is limited.
So, what are Lenten disciplines and what difference
can they make in our lives and our relationship
with Christ? The Church teaches that the purpose
of Lent is the preparation of the believer for Easter.
This happens by increasing our times of prayer,
repenting of our sins, engaging in acts of penance
(making amends to God and others for things
we have done wrong), sharing our resources in
almsgiving (giving to the least and the lost), and
practicing self-denial (“fasting” from things). How
do these disciplines prepare us?
First, these practices cause us to disrupt our
lives, pause, and examine our interior lives more
thoroughly. Instead of a quick examination of
our lives, 40 days of prayer and fasting lead us to
stop and listen to our bodies. We are more aware
of our thoughts and how they affect our attitudes
and behaviors. We notice our weaknesses in fasting
and examine them in prayer. We respond by giving
to others and seeking forgiveness. Fasting, for
example, reminds us that our true hunger is for
what is eternal. Our hearts long for God who is the
True Bread from heaven.
Second, these practices orient our hearts back
toward God. We can all become complacent in
our spiritual lives . . . even preachers. The practices
of Lent are forms of spiritual exercise. These
disciplines reveal areas in our lives where we need
some work. For me, they can point out things that
have too much power over my life. They can also
soften my outlook on people and circumstances.
After all, in my weakness and self-denial I become
more empathetic and aware.
The last thing I will share about practicing a holy
Lent is this: we need to spend time grieving our sins
that led to God sending Christ to die on the cross. I
am hopeful that the practices of Lent will lead all of
us to be humbler and kinder, crying out like David,
“Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my
iniquity. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and
renew a right spirit within me.” (Psalm 59:9-10)
Make a commitment to commit to a holy Lent in
2019. It will change your life.

Senior Pastor

FAITH NOT FEAR
BY CATHERINE GENTRY
Who of you by worrying can add
a single hour to her life?
Matthew 6:27
I tried to give up worrying for
Lent one year. It seemed like
such a good idea for so many
reasons. I eagerly anticipated the
opportunity to be worry free for
the next 40 days. It lasted about
40 minutes.
I woke up early to read a Bible verse, the first from the
Lenten devotional, said a quick prayer, and felt very proud
of myself for not worrying about the busy day ahead of
me. But when I walked into the kitchen, it all fell apart. My
son had a project due that he had forgotten about the night
before, my daughter had region choir auditions and the
ACT the next day, and there was a mysterious wet spot on
the ceiling after the rain the night before. All my thoughts
shifted from the peace of the early morning into the full-on
worries of another busy day.
As a mom, I pray a lot. But I worry more. That’s not
something I’m proud of, but it’s the truth. My worry list
ranges from the small and personal, like “Will my son
actually finish that project in time” and “What if the entire
roof is leaking and causing that wet spot,” to larger, more
complex issues, like the divisiveness of our nation and its
effects on our children or the possibility of yet another
school shooting. The world we live in can be a scary place,
full of confusing and often complex issues that seem
insurmountable. Faith is hard, and fear can overtake us so
easily.
It’s hard not to worry. Really hard. In the middle of the
night, I wake up with my mind racing, frantically adding
new items to an ever-growing list of worries about things
that could go wrong. It’s always at a time when I can’t do
anything about it. I need to clean the house so I can be at my
meetings the next day, but running the vacuum in the middle
of the night is clearly not an option, neither is changing the
sheets when everyone else is sleeping on them. I can’t text my
friend for consolation because I’ll wake her up. And there
is absolutely nothing I can do about the world’s political
situation at 3:00 a.m. That expression my grandmother
used about waking up at an “ungodly hour” makes so much
sense now. In that time, when it’s dark and I feel anxious
and alone, I feel furthest from God. Even when I’ve given my
worries over to Him in the daylight, in the darkness, despite
my best intentions I find myself taking them all back again,
as if I’m somehow helping God by reclaiming my worries,
freeing him up to take on other duties.
I think it all became clearer a few years ago when my oldest
daughter, in college at the time, called me early one morning
to tell me her car wouldn’t start. She was in tears, stressed
about getting to a test in time and frustrated by not knowing
what to do. When I heard her voice, I wanted to cry too.
I couldn’t help her like I wanted to. Even if I had jumped
in my car and driven as fast as I could, which I desperately
wanted to do, the exam would be over by the time I could get
to her. And in that moment, I realized something powerful: I
had to let go. I had to simply have faith that she could handle
it. No matter how much I worried, I couldn’t fix it for her.
She found a friend willing to wake up early and drive her, so
she made it to the test on time, and afterwards they made
arrangements to have the car repaired and she called to tell
me all about it, laughing at how it had all worked out.
That incident changed how I view worrying. Somehow
realizing so clearly that there was absolutely nothing I
could do allowed me to step back and relinquish control.
If I’m being honest, I have to admit that I still have those
fears, those moments when everything seems to spin out
of control. But knowing that I can choose to rely on faith
instead of fear offers the possibility of finding peace. I
recently read a study that said that 97% of the things you
worry about never happen. Isn’t that amazing? Out of all
those worries, statistically most of them will never come
true. I find comfort in that idea, and it allows me to let go a
bit more and trust that God will be there to take care of it
all. And even if the 3% happens and things turn out to be as
scary as I feared, God will still be there.
So, this year for Lent, I’m going to try something different.
I know now that worrying isn’t something you can just give
up, like chocolate (although that is hard too—I know, I’ve
tried). Instead, it’s more about giving up putting myself
at the center of things, trying to take on everything as my
responsibility, instead of stepping back and trusting God. I
think I’ll focus on that idea, with firsthand understanding
that a state of worry is fundamentally incompatible with
faith. It doesn’t mean I won’t worry sometimes, but I know
deep down that faith is there for me.
Pass the chocolate. I’ll say a prayer of thanks and know that
God is good.

Understanding
by Maria Reyes Beltran
My name is Maria Reyes Beltran. I was born in
McAllen, Texas, and am a fourth-generation Texan
and one of six children.
Growing up, Chapelwood played a significant
role in our family’s life. Not only did we
attend Sunday School and church services
on a weekly basis, but my Dad also spent
the last decade of his life working at
Chapelwood, which he loved. Before the
Columbarium was even an option, my
parents had decided that this hypothetical
place was where they wanted their ashes. It
wasn’t until years after our Dad had passed,
and thanks to the hard work and dedication
of many, that Chapelwood’s Columbarium
came to fruition. The Columbarium is the
resting place for both of our parents, Bill
and Charlotte Marshall, and knowing that
this is where they wanted to rest in peace
brings comfort to my brothers and me. We
are forever grateful to Chapelwood for doing
what needed to be done to create this special
place for our parents and other families in the
community.
Catherine Marshall
Growing up, some of the most important things I
learned from my father were to be respectful, earn
your keep, and have faith in God. My father was
a very proud man who struggled a lot to put food
on the table for us. He was a jack-of-all-trades and
taught us all to be the same. Our faith was the
tricky part.
You see, my father struggled with his understanding
of who God was, and so he took us to many
different churches. Some were very big and loud,
and others were just Bible study groups. I was first
introduced to God in a prayer group. I had just
started middle school and must have been about 11
years old. It was a wonderful thing – I was a part
of young missionary group for girls. I was taught
there that sharing the gospel was very important.
However, my father, unknowingly, had taught me
the most important thing I ever needed to know. He
taught me how to serve.
Although my father did not always think God was
working fast enough, I knew then as I know now
that God would always be a big part of my life. I
serve at The Branch, help at the Fair Haven food
pantry, have been involved in many Bible-based
organizations, and have taught all my children to do
the same.
Thank you,
Maria Reyes Beltran

Let Him Lead.
A Mercy Street story of Gabriel and Monica Sanchez
When Gabriel and Monica Sanchez met at a single
parenting class in 2005, each had a daughter from
previous relationships. Gabriel had no plans to ever
marry again, and Monica had finally let God “off
the hook” concerning the task of introducing her
to the right man. Five months later, the two were
married.
It was less than six months into the marriage when
Gabriel discovered his bride was an alcoholic. “At
that point in our marriage,” Gabriel remembers,
“either one of us could have put our hands up
and said, ‘This is too hard to deal with.’” In what
would be the honeymoon season for most couples,
Gabriel and Monica instead found themselves in
AA and Al-Anon classes. The road to recovery
was daunting, and Monica asked Gabriel why he
decided to stay. His response would set the course
for many of their future decisions: he said that he
looked into Monica’s daughter’s eyes and decided
he couldn’t leave because of her. Concern for a
little girl who barely knew him revealed the heart
of a man who was leaning in close to hear the Holy
Spirit.
the type of community that I think Jesus would be
sitting in. The people that Jesus spoke to and sat
down with were people that were broken. Normal,
everyday people who went through stuff.” Their
lives today are blessed, and Gabriel explains why.
“This is not the result of lucky chance. It is not just
some miracle that falls together in your lap. Rather,
it is waking up every day and making a choice.”
“I’m not going to drink today.”
“I’m going to spend time with my kids today.”
“I’m going to put my spouse’s needs first today.”
It is days and days of making decisions fueled by
the expansive grace of God that slowly become
a solid foundation— a home. It is how difficult
circumstances can become the beautiful portrait of
the Sanchez Crew that we see today.
It is when, like a child, we take God by the hand and
let Him lead.
However, Monica struggled with relapsing. By
the time the decision was made that she needed to
check into a full-time rehabilitation center, they had
grown to a family of six.
Today, the self-titled “Sanchez Crew” is a family
of seven. After years of struggling to find a church
home, they walked in to Mercy Street. Monica says,
“Here, everybody knows that they’re loved, right
where they are, and that’s huge.” Gabriel says, “It’s

Upper Room Heights Lenten Series
40 Days of Gratitude
“A season of intentional thankfulness for everyday grace”
In 2019, Upper Room Heights welcomes you to the
wonderful and transformative season called Lent.
Each year, Lent challenges us to follow Jesus into the
wilderness for 40 days of focus on life with our God.
This year we are embracing this time in the Christian
calendar as an opportunity to notice and be thankful
for the grace God shows us every day.
Clinical research on gratitude demonstrates what the
Bible has taught for thousands of years: learn to be
thankful and you will be healthier in mind and body
and you’ll be a blessing to others.
Our hope is to reach Easter with a greater awareness
of God’s presence and provision. We will cover three
essential aspects of Jesus’ life and seek to grow them in
our own.
• Intentional Physical Subjection: Fasting
Jesus teaches that to thrive in the Christian life we must
make sacrifices and deny ourselves at times. During
Lent, Upper Room Community members endeavor to
step away from a host of things that we deem essential
to our lives (such as food, electronics, and social
media).
• Deep Personal Reflection: Daily Gratitude Prayer
Over the course of this Lenten season Upper Roomers
are encouraged to take on the daily spiritual disciplines
of devotional prayer and journaling. This will help
develop our “Gratitude List,” so by the end of Lent, we
will have compiled a list of 40 daily graces. Participants
will receive a Prayer Guide to help them focus daily in
this season.
• Essential Community Connection: Lenten Triad
Groups
Upper Room Heights will follow Jesus’ example by
creating Lenten Triads that journey through the season
together. For the six weeks of Lent, three members will
be encouraged to connect in a group to pray, share,
and hold each other accountable to the fast and their
Gratitude Prayer discipline.
Our preaching and teaching will focus on how we live
into the truths that Lent will reveal. Our goal is to be
further connected to the abundant life Jesus promised
by more fully trusting and depending on God.
Everyone is Welcome to Come Along
This Lenten season will be a time of revelation and
renewal as we experience 40 Days of Gratitude. You
don’t have to be part of the URHeights Community to
join us. Get a group of three together and either text
“Gratitude” to (713) 999-3515 or contact Amy Vogel
at avogel@urheights.com to register your triad and
receive the Prayer Guide. The Upper Room meets on
Sundays at 10:00 a.m. in the Historic Heights Theater
(theheightstheater.com). You can also watch us live
online each week on our website at urheights.com. If
you have to miss a Sunday service, all Upper Room
sermons are saved and archived.
See you at Upper Room Heights each Sunday and
remember . . . we love you and there is nothing you can
do about it!
