Dear Friends,

We continue our journey into the heart of the Lenten Season–a time to really reflect on “who” we are as followers of our brother, Jesus and how we choose, daily, weekly and yearly to live out our lives, “in his footsteps.”

Even though each of our readings this week are reflective of our collective “sinfulness,” and thus, somewhat negative, the predominant theme that we should take away from these is the mercy of our God for each one of us–even though we often turn away–God is always calling us back.

I offer these beginning thoughts as we prepare for Sunday, our half-way point through Lent.

Peace and love to each of you,

Pastor Kathy
