A MESSAGE FROM PASTOR RICHARD
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you.” – 1 Peter 5: 6-7
As we approach the 4th Sunday of Lent, we’re a little over halfway through our journey to Easter that began on Ash Wednesday. I continue to reflect on Lent as I ski the slopes on my Sabbath. I give thanks to God that we had some good snow last weekend. I pray for more snow!
​
As I skied this week, I thought about how we’re encouraged to give up something for Lent. Some of you may have done this, which is great. Fasting usually means abstaining from some kind of food, but we can also fast from other things as well. We give up something we long for so we long more and grow in our relationship with God as we prepare for the good news of resurrection. It’s a voluntary penance.
​
If we give up something, it’s important to add or take on something as well. Lent isn’t only about “giving up” things. We’re called to add a practice or practices to our lives that help us focus on God as we walk with Jesus to the cross. Simple practices we can add to our lives include additional prayer time, reading scripture daily, and acts of charity. We can also focus on our attitude and mindset by doing things like gratitude journaling or practicing kindness to strangers. It’s important to fast or give up something for Lent, especially if it is hurting our relationship with God. But it’s equally important to think and pray about what we can add to our lives that deepens our relationship with God.
​
What are you doing to grow in your relationship with God this Lent?
​
May the Love of God be with you,
​
Pastor Richard
