A Letter from the Pastor

With Ash Wednesday the season of Lent began.  Some came for the imposition of ashes, many have placed crosses in their yards, and some have even given up some luxury or a part of their normal daily routine for the remainder of Lent.  There are many expressions developed throughout church history that have come and gone, but their primary purpose remains the same.  This season is a time of repentance, reflection, preparation, prayer, study, and growing in grace; that we might be strengthened and more authentic in our Easter faith.

As we put aside the shortcomings, failures, and sins of the past, let us take upon ourselves the mission and will of Christ Jesus our Lord.  While we are going through the Lenten season my prayer for each one of you is that you would be strengthened and grow deeper in your understanding of Christ's sacrificial death.  So let us move through this season and find ourselves renewed on the other side by the presence of the resurrected Lord in our lives.          

Blessings,
