Lent is upon us – already. It is a time to review our commitment to God through discerning our Lenten discipline for another year. Whether we decide to give something up for Lent, or take on something new, what is most important is the process we use to discern our way forward.
I am not going to campaign for any one action we might take, but I will offer a look at what we are doing as a community of faith to aid in your thoughts. During Lent, the adult class is going to explore the Book of Common Prayer, looking at what it contains that might lead to further spiritual activites. We will have the traditional Ash Wednesday service with imposition of ashes. During Holy Week, we will offer the full range of services as we have done in the past. And, of course, we will be gathering each Wednesday to offer a wonderful meal to our friends and neighbors, followed by Evening Prayer. Each of these is an opportunity to explore a deeper walk with God.
