****************************************************************************************
From the Pastor
I send greetings to each of you and,
as always, it is my prayer that you are found healthy physically, mentally and
spiritually. Know that each of you is of
inestimable worth in the eyes of God, and that you see each person in your life
likewise.
The lessons during the season of
Epiphany focus on the manifestation of God to humans, the call that comes as a
result of that manifestation, and our response to that call. Discipleship
signifies our realization of the revelation of God’s grace and our acceptance
of God’s call. Daily we are given
examples of those who have experienced this process of manifestation, call, and
response. This process is ongoing in each of you, as you live the life of the
disciple. This Communion Sunday offers
an excellent opportunity for us to re-examine our desire to obey Christ’s call
to discipleship and I would invite each of you to share at the table of
acceptance and forgiveness. We are called to explore how God reveals the divine
nature to us, it becomes important to examine the consequences of understanding
that revelation.
This month we will see the end of
Epiphany and the beginning of the Lenten season. Lent is a forty-day fast
beginning on Ash Wednesday that marks the period of preparation for the Easter
season. The number forty appears to be biblically significant. The forty-day
fast of Lent mirrors Jesus’ forty-day fast in the wilderness and echoes
Israel’s forty-year sojourn in the wilderness. Major themes of the Lenten
season include repentance, self examination, and prayerful preparation. On the first Sunday in Lent, all the lessons
in the Christian tradition lift up the idea of what it means to call upon
God. We even are called to remember the
story of Jesus fasting and being tempted in the wilderness. Those who call upon the Lord are assured of
God’s presence and gracious love, even in the midst of the trials of life. This
assurance is not a guarantee of comfort and safety but rather a guarantee of
sufficiency.
In each of you the presence of God
resides and is waiting to break the silence from within you. Allow yourselves this month to stretch forth
in faith and share a hand in caring, witnessing or living a new testimony that
has compelled you to a new understanding. May each of you be blessed always, is
my prayer.
Grace and peace,
DAJIII (Sam)
