Welcome into Lent
We invite you, dear friends, to step into repentance by observing a holy Lent, the Church’s sacred Spring, through self-examination and repentance; prayer and fasting; and reading and meditating on God’s holy Word.
Lent is a time to let go of excuses for failings and shortcomings; a time to stop hanging on to whatever shreds of goodness we perceive in ourselves; a time to ask God to show us what we really look like.
“Christ must increase, and I must decrease,” John declares. The challenge we face is to discover Christ -- the scarred God, the weak and wretched God, the crucified, dying God of blood and despair -- amid the alluring gods of our feel-good age. He reveals the appalling strangeness of divine mercy, and the Love from which it springs. Such Love could not stay imprisoned in a cold tomb. Nor need we, if we truly surrender our lives to it.
If you missed the Ash Wednesday service, you can hear it online.
