Pastor’s Keyboard
Lent is a penitential season when we are guided inward to consider our relationship with God. Often when we take a good look at ourselves and evaluate how we treat each other and recognize which priorities we have placed at the top, we discover we are not exemplifying what it means to be a child of God. Lent gives us time and encouragement to repent, to see the truth, and to work on making changes.
Faith is the foundation of our relationship with God. Our midweek services this Lent will focus on ‘faith.’ Hebrews 11:1 says: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” We will try to open up that concept of faith by looking at the faith of Noah, Abraham, Moses, and the people of Israel. We will consider Jesus who is the perfecter of our faith and the rock upon which we are to build.
Our Wednesdays, starting on February 18 with Ash Wednesday, will offer a soup supper at 5:00 p.m. It is pot luck, so please sign up to bring soups, bread, and other accompaniments for the simple meal. Our worship includes Prayers Around the Cross and begins at 5:45. Ash Wednesday includes the mark of the ashes and Holy Communion.
