Dear Friends,
As I write this we are beginning the Church season of Lent. Lent is the forty day period of repentance and renewal preceding Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Easter. Lent is a special time for meditation, prayer and other penitential practices. It is a time for renewal of baptismal vows and recommitment to our faith.
Some people fast during Lent; others will change some behavior they know to be unhealthy or unhelpful to their life of faith. Some add extra prayer time, Bible reading, or whatever else helps us be mindful of Easter and all that it means. It is a time to focus on all Jesus did for us.
It is the tradition here at Good Shepherd to join together each Wednesday night during Lent to gather for soup suppers and a class. This year’s class will be on “Surviving Life’s Challenges.” I invite you to join us at 6:15 for the dinner followed at 7:00 with the class. You could also just join us for the soup or the class. This year we have something special lined up for the soups. Susie Gutierrez is making plant-based soups on Sunday. You can join her after worship as she is teaching how to prepare the soups. We will then eat the soup on Wednesday.
I always look forward to gathering on Wednesdays during Lent. It is a time I get to sit down and eat with people that I don’t always get to spend that much time with. I find we grow in our relationships each year as we share each week what is going on in our lives. I hope this can be a time you grow in your relationships with God and other people!
May God bless you in your Lenten journey!
God’s Peace,
Pastor Ted
