From The Pastor
March is here, and the church is already into Lent. The Lenten Bible Study has already begun, and if you missed our first meeting, that's okay. You can find the recorded audio on our podcasts, and if you plan to join us next Sunday, read chap-ter two and be ready for a robust conversation. Later this month, we plan to cele-brate Scout Sunday and one of my favorite holidays, Saint Patrick's Day. So don't forget to put on some Irish or green on the nearest Sunday to Saint Patrick's Day. And don't forget to check out our church fundraiser. We are selling flowering bulbs in time for spring.
March seems to have much going on in it this year for the church. That's not always the case. Some years March can seem to drag on as we long for winter to turn over into spring. The word Lent is an older English word that means spring-time. It's funny how sometimes Lent begins in winter and can end in winter. I remember a few years when Easter saw snowflakes and flowers.
But maybe the Lent of the church isn't a meteorological season of spring but a spiritual season of spring. It starts in a time of barrenness as we till the soil of our lives in repentance. It continues as we plant seeds of faith as we pray and seek God's grace. Then it begins to sprout and grow to full flower as we seek a way to act faithfully in the world. Eventually, the fullness and blossom of new life are demonstrated on Easter morn as we celebrate the resurrection of Christ and the promise of a new life for us all.
If your Lent needs a pick-me-up and you are tired of the same old season of fasting and abstaining, remember that it's not supposed to be a slog. It is supposed to represent the hope of spring, as new life takes hold in your life and you remem-ber that God is good and remakes us in the image of Jesus.
And in case you need one, here are two Irish blessings for Saint Patrick’s Day to share this season.
"May the roof above us never fall in. And may the friends gathered below it never fall out."
"May the strength of three be in your journey-Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.”
