From The Pastor
Lent is a season to reflect upon how God is at work in our lives. It is a time for seeking and practicing forgiveness, as well as nurturing a host of other spiritual disciplines. Lent begins this month on Ash Wednesday, February 22. Everyone is invited to a pancake supper at 6:00 p.m. Worship will be at 7:00 p.m.
On Sunday, February 19th we will introduce a study, Learning Forgiveness: A Lenten Study. This is a six week time to encourage our reflection on the central practice of Christianity - forgiveness. The time of reflection will begin at 4:00 p.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. You will need your Bible, a small notebook to keep a journal in, and study material I will provide for you each week. I hope you will come.
The material for our first session will be available on Sunday, February 12. Copies will be on the table in my study. I can also e-mail you a copy. You will need Adobe Reader to open the file. It is a free program you can get online. Let me know if you plan to attend.
My God, use this Lenten season to help us understand the loving embrace of the Divine forgiveness in our lives.
Grace and peace to you,
Larry
