Seeing the LordMary Magdalene went to the disciples
with the news: I have seen the
Lord! (John 20:18a)
Johns account of the resurrecon
reveals details that the other gospels do
not reveal. John tells of Mary Magdalene
returning to the empty tomb, searching foran answer. While she was searching for an
answer, Jesus was searching for her.
Standing outside the tomb, the risen Jesus
revealed himself to her, and instructed her
to go and tell the disciples. Mary went to
them and declared, I have seen the Lord!
Seeing the Lordis what its all about
At least thats where it all begins. It
doesnt begin with serving the Lord. Itdoesnt begin with obeying the Lord. It
doesnt begin with following the Lord. It
doesnt even begin with believing in the
Lord. I think it begins with seeing the Lord;
beholding Him as He is. Mary Magdalene
saw the risen Jesus and it was transforma-
onal. When people see Jesus as he truly
is, its transformaonal.
The mission of the United Methodist
Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ
for the transformaon of the world. Tyler
Streets disnct role in this mission is To
make a community of disciples of Jesus
Christ who will
demonstrate Gods
love and truth in
Oak Cliff and be-
yond as we gather
for worship, grow
in Gods word, give
generously and goout in service in
the power of the Holy Spir-
it.
Intrinsic to the stated
mission is the imperave to
help people see and encounter the Living
Lord. In a fine book tled, Vercal Church,
James McDonald writes about the human
desire to encounter the Transcendent andthe Eternal. He writes:
Deep within we long for the Father of allgalaxies to fall upon us and take us to the matwith his full weightChurch must be about thatfifty-two weeks a year, every year for the rest oftheir lives. No personal quiet time, no Christianbook, no community or small group or service
can substitute for the absence of God comingdown to meet with his church corporatelyVertical Church points to a new day where Godis the seeker and we are the ones found. (20-21)

this one.
As we journey through Lent let us remember the
Good News of the Gospel is that we are loved by One
who joins us in this journey and desires for us to draw
closer. This is my prayer for all of us during this 40-day
journey.

Heart Strings Valentines BanquetA huge thank you to all who parcipated in the Valennes Banquet! You made it a huge success.
We had so much fun serving you on such a special night. Thank you for giving your me and your
money to come out and support our youth. Thank you to those who were not able to come but
gave anyway.
Note from Kyle- Im so glad that you all had a great me, but Im so much more thankful for the
outcome of this event. This banquet was much more than a special occasion. It was a means for
someone to parcipate in some of our many yearly events such as mission trip or summer camp.
To have even a small percentage knocked off of the price is a huge blessing to our families. So on
behalf of all of those families and myself, thank you!

Youth work on Benne Hall inside and outSomemes you dont have to go very far to reach out and give a helping hand to your community.
In our case, it was just right across the street! The youth and I had the privilege of helping C2K Di-
rector Jamie Nelson beaufy her building last Sunday evening. We cleaned out flower beds, pulled
weeds making room for new flowers, and painted a really cool mural on the wall entering the build-
ing. We also let Mark Walker send the wood chips flying with his chainsaw, taking down a tree that
was destroying the fence line. That being said, a lot of progress has been made on the building and
much more will be done over the next few months. We hope that for years to come it will house
youth from all over the country coming to serve our community. May God bless this ministry, those
who run it, and all who are affected by it.

FortyIdeasForKeepingLent
HolyLent is a period that begins on Ash Wednesday and
concludes the Saturday before Easter. Historically,
Lent was a me of preparaon for those who were
to be bapzed. Today, Chrisans use this me to prepare their hearts
for Easter. It is a me of repentance, Bible study, prayer and fasng
before the Resurrecon of the Lord on Easter Sunday. Since Sundays
celebrate the resurrecon of Jesus, the six Sundays that occur during
Lent are not counted as part of the 40 days of Lent. There are many
ways that Chrisans can use this period of me for introspecon, self-
examinaon, and repentance. Go to www.tsumc.org and click on 40
Ideas for Keeping Lent Holyto see some ways in which we can focus
during this Lenten season.

Tyler Street Christian AcademyStudents focus on service in
Oak CliffFaith, excellence, integrity,
service and innovation are
the five core values at Tyler
Street Christian Academy.
The Elementary students
have focused on the theme of
service this year. During
Spiritual Emphasis Week,
the children prepared a program of songs and visited St. Josephs Residence, Grace Pres-byterian Village, and the Tyler Street Manor. Pictured above is Pastor Lantzs youngest
son, Lucas, opening the program and then he led the group in prayer. During their presen-
tations, the Academy children sang to the residents and gifted each member with one of a
kind bookmarks made by the stu-
dents. The visits were very special
to the children, those in attend-
ance, and each one was blessed by
the sharing of Gods love.
