Dear Brother’s and Sister’s in Christ,
My most favorite time of the year is almost upon us. On Wednesday, February 22, Lent begins with the observance of Ash Wednesday. I cannot wait for this year’s Ash Wednesday service! I stumbled upon an idea (thank you Mary Rider Kline!) that will make this year’s service incredibly meaningful. And then for the next 40 days (not including Sundays) we will prepare for the passion of Christ and the celebration of his resurrection! And just as the Lenten season moves us from death to life, we will move through the cold of winter to the new life of spring!
Special to the 2012 observance of Lent is the focus of the Monday night discipleship group. The Monday night group has been on hiatus since my sabbatical, but will start up this month. During the five Mondays following Ash Wednesday, the group will focus on study geared specifically for Lent. At the end of the five weeks, participants will have the chance to decide if they wish to continue to be part of the group. The first Monday in Lent is Monday, February 27, and we will meet at 7:15pm in the parlor. If you have any questions, please contact me. Lent is a wonderful time to be deliberate about spiritual growth. If Monday night is a bad time, please feel free to check out one of the Sunday school classes. Each class is unique and will serve to broaden your understanding of God’s Word and your experience of Christian fellowship. May God richly bless your Lenten experience!
Warmly in Christ, Pastor John
