Dear Friends,

With this Sunday; we move into the first full week of the holy season of Lent–a period of six weeks given us each year to reflect and to pray–to consider how we might better live our lives following our brother, Jesus.  As we move through this period in our Church year, it will become clear that the world doesn’t always understand, nor appreciate the radical love that Jesus asks of each of us–his life of love and his horrible death–a direct result of how he lived his life of love and concern for all will be laid out for us to consider.  But it won’t end in death–he will rise to new life on Easter–a wonderful, faith-filled journey that each of us, in our baptisms, are called to follow.  May you be blessed during these 40 days to follow Jesus with faith and with love–Pastor Kathy
