Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 14th.  This is a time of returning to God – the true meaning of repentance.  If you are seeking a spiritual home, you are welcome here either in-person or by livestream every Sunday at 10:30am.

I invite you now to begin to consider how you might walk this journey of Lent, remembering these words from Isaiah 58:

Is not this the fast that I choose:
to loose the bonds of injustice,
to undo the thongs of the yoke,
 to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover them,
and not to hide yourself from your own kin?

You may decide to do a carbon fast, to spend 15min. a day in quiet reflection, to commit to an anonymous act of kindness each day, to be mindful in all that you do, or to pray every day for those on our prayer list.

Of course, giving yourself the gift of being here on Sunday for worship is the best way to move through Lent.  

The choices are endless, and the way in which you choose to observe a Holy Lent will be the one that calls you into that deeper relationship with God, as we walk the path of Christ to Jerusalem.  The important thing is to open your hearts, minds, and souls to this powerful season and all that is possible in this Lenten journey.  I will keep all of you in prayer in the days to come.

Blessings,
Mother Diana+
