On Wednesday, we all embarked on a journey. Some of us gathered to mark the occasion in the sanctuary with prayer, songs, and ashes on our hands or heads. Whether you observed Ash Wednesday or not, we are all still moving forward, together, to Easter morning.
For the next 40 days or so, we are in the liturgical season of Lent. It is marked by repentance, fasting, preparation, and, for us, prayer. That's what we're going to dig deeper into on Sundays. The words we say and the ways we pray that draw us closer to God.
Maybe you think you know what prayer is or how to say prayers. Maybe you wish you prayed more or had better words to say to God to express your feelings and hopes. Maybe you have no clue what is really happening when you pray. Perhaps all of those can be true!
And over the next several Sundays, perhaps you will see just how vital and central prayer can be to our understanding of God.
See you Sunday,
Brian
