What is the Lenten Journey?
Lent is indeed a profound time for Christians to reflect, repent, and prepare for the celebration of Easter. This description beautifully captures the essence of Lent as a journey through the wilderness, emphasizing our call to live in communion with God, love one another, and resist anything that leads us away from God and our neighbors.
The connection between Lent and baptism is particularly meaningful, as it reminds us that our journey is one of transformation and renewal in Christ. The encouragement and gratitude you all express towards the Confirmands and their families highlights the importance of nurturing faith in the next generation, ensuring they have a strong foundation in God’s Word.
As you rightly understand, this biblical foundation equips them to share God’s love with others in a meaningful way. Your prayers for a blessed and enriching Lenten journey, along with the anticipation of new life in spring, serves as an uplifting reminder of the hope and renewal we find in Christ.
May this Lenten season be a time of deep spiritual growth and renewal for you and our community. Thank you for your dedication to guiding and supporting our youth in their faith journey.
In Christ,
Pastor Kelly
