During the season of Lent, the six weeks leading up to Easter, we are called to honestly assess the ways we have fallen short of God's call and claim on our lives. I don't imagine this is something many of us want to do -- it is uncomfortable and often unpleasant to name our sin! But by engaging in honest self-examination before God, we become open to the possibility that God is indeed at work in our lives, forgiving us and transforming us that we may be people of forgiveness and transformation in a world that desperately needs both. This year for Lent , we will seek to create space in our church community to encounter God through the spiritual discipline of prayer. We will explore how prayer allows us to confess sin, receive forgiveness, extend forgiveness to others, seek God's presence, and open ourselves to the abundant life God desires for all of God's children. May God touch your heart and soul this season in such a way that, come Easter, you experience the wonder of resurrection anew and find yourself inspired to honestly and courageously share the good news that no sin is beyond the transforming power of God's undying love.
