Greetings church family!
As we prepare for the season of Lent, a time of reflection, repentance, and renewal,
the spiritual life committee, Josiah, and I are excited about the theme for this year:
"Rattling Heaven's Doors: Lent with the Lord's Prayer."
The Lord's Prayer is a foundational text for Christians and it’s one that we pray
every week in worship. It is a prayer that is both simple and profound, a prayer that
speaks to the deepest longings of the human heart. During these six weeks of Lent,
we will explore the Lord's Prayer, delving into its meaning and significance for our
lives today.
Each week, we will focus on a different aspect of the prayer, drawing inspiration
from Josiah's "Lord's Prayer" song selection. We will explore different translations
and interpretations of this prayer, seeking to understand its message in new and
fresh ways.
Our shared creative project for Lent is a "Prayer Mural. " This mural will be a visual
representation of our Lenten journey, a way for us to express our prayers and
reflections through art. Each week, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to the
mural, contributing to this shared expression of faith.
Throughout Lent, we will continue to share worship with FPC Dimondale. Check
out the calendar and promotions in this month’s Ambassador as to when and where
we’ll be worshipping together during Lent and Holy Week.
I invite you to join us this Lent as we "rattle heaven's doors" with the Lord's Prayer.
Let us pray with anticipation and expectation, seeking transformation and a deeper
connection with God.
Peace,
Ben
