We continue our journey through Lent leading up to Easter. Read the newsletter to discover events and schedules leading up to Easter morning. Take time to renew and strengthen your relationship with Christ. Blessings!
Our Lenten journey begins with Ash Wednesday on February 14th, a Lent Schedule is included within the newsletter. On Ash Wednesday we begin our forty-day journey toward Easter with a day of fasting and repentance. Marking our foreheads with dust, we acknowledge that we die and return to the earth. At the same time, the dust traces the life-giving cross indelibly marked on our foreheads at baptism. While we journey through Lent to return to God, we have already been reconciled to God through Christ. We humbly pray for God to make our hearts clean while we rejoice that “now is the day of salvation.” Returning to our baptismal call, we more intentionally bear the fruits of mercy and justice in the world.
We have entered into the season of Advent, give time daily to strengthen your relationship with Christ. There are a number of events happening during December, read the newsletter to find opportunities for fellowship, community and helping one another. Blessings!
