Lent: Learning to Live Faithfully in All of Life


March 1st marks the beginning of the liturgical season of Lent. It is the 40 days (not counting Sundays) which lead us to Easter. Traditionally, the season of Lent is one of the more somber of church’s seasons, including as it does themes like sacrifice and penitence. One of the benefits of paying attention to the cycle of seasons in the church is that taken together they offer us perspectives and resources for living faithfully in all of life’s circumstances, including those which are painful and challenging. God is with us in the shadows of life as well as in the sunshine moments. I look forward to being with you in worship during this rich season as together we explore themes to enhance our journey of faithful living.
