Amid the cold and the snow, I’m guessing one of the last things you want to begin thinking about is the austere season of Lent. I get it, but I encourage you to view Lent as a transformational opportunity. During this season of penitence and preparation, we are invited to slow down and spend some quality time with God reflecting on ourselves, the indescribable mystery of God’s love for us, and how we are called to respond to that love. So, I encourage you to give some thought to a discipline you might like to practice this Lent. The Episcopal Church has compiled several resources for your consideration and use this Lent, which you can find here: https://www.episcopalchurch.org/lent-resources/
As a community this Lent, we will once again enjoy a little Lent Madness fun (https://www.lentmadness.org/), sing the Great Litany in procession on the First Sunday in Lent, and experience worship using Holy Eucharist: Rite I during the 10:00 am service.
Peace,
Michael+
