So, it seems only fitting that the season begins with ashes--a
symbol of repentance, of turning around. It is important to
remember, however, that our Lenten disciplines are not in-
tended as a form of punishment or deprivation, but, ultimately,
to transform our entire person--body, soul, and spirit--and help
us become more like Christ.
In Lent we are invited to simplify our lives a little and live into
the disciplines of the season. Whether that means fasting from
an over-busy schedule to spend more time together as family,
giving more of oneself through time or money to serve those
with less in our community, or being more deliberate in setting
aside time for deeper prayer and Bible study--Lent is an
opportunity for us to deepen our relationship with God in Jesus
Christ.
What will be different for you this year in Lent? How will you
draw closer to God? I invite you to ponder these questions and,
if you are willing, to share your plan with me. I will share mine
with you. Perhaps, by doing so, we can support each other
become more connected as sisters and brothers in Christ, and,
most importantly, grow deeper in faith and discipleship as
people of God.
Peace,
Pastor Karleen
Project Promise Personal Care Kits are shared with people who
have lost everything from a natural disaster or life-threatening
violence. During Lent, we will be partnering with Shiloh
Methodist in collecting funds and items for personal and baby
care kits. These kits will be put together by our pantry patrons
in April and shipped to Project Promise--a project of Lutheran
World Relief.
