During April we continue to observe the season of Lent. For 40 days (not including Sundays) we observe this traditional season of self-examination and personal reflection where we acknowledge our human frailty and weakness (“Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return”) and open ourselves to the Holy Spirit and inner transformation. Specifically this season, we are focusing on the issue of commitment to Christ through service to the world around us. We’ll examine how we can surrender to the presence of God and partner with God’s Spirit to be Agents of Love, Peace and Hope wherever we are. We’ll celebrate this theme before Easter with a special day of service on Palm Sunday (April 17) when we will all gather together as one community at 10AM and then go out in teams on a variety of service projects. We are using fire as a theme throughout Lent as a symbol of the passion of God’s love for us, of purification and refining and of the spread of God’s love through us into the world. This culminates in our Easter Sunday service on April 24 where we will consider fire as power when we celebrate resurrection in two identical services for all ages.
