First Sunday in Lent
Luke 4: 1-13
Lent
In this, the church's holy spring,
we ask you O God, to renew us.
With a gentle breath,
blow from our lives
the dust of sin,
and make us your people again.
Lift us from guilt,
and shame, and regret,
to repair all we've broken,
and give us the gift of repentance.
With the lengthening days,
stretch our hearts,too,
to be ready for your risen life;
through Christ our Lord.
Amen
Susan K. Bock
Come to St. Timothy's on Sunday, the first Sunday in Lent. Let's lift our hearts and voices in praise and thanksgiving as together, in the words of Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, we "enter this season of renewed commitment to participate in and be a part of the movement of Jesus in the world."
