Greetings St. Stephen’s:
It was good to be with you this Sunday as we begin our Lenten journey. Lent is a time many of us take to meet God with a sense of deep intentionality and a knowledge of the Holy with us and within us even though we are all flawed human beings. Despite the fact that we are sinners we are also beloved people made in the image of God. While we cannot be perfect as Jesus was, we can walk the path of Jesus and keep returning to this path when we stray.
Last Saturday the vestry had a retreat at the church. We discussed some of the ways we can serve the needs and gifts of the community and utilize our building and our desire to reach out to people who are looking for places of sanctuary. New Harmony has been such a place for many throughout its history. It is also been a place that inspires creativity for artists, writers and musicians. This world needs more beauty and more places that reflect God’s creativity.
Lent is a time to reflect on how we live our lives in light of not only the crucifixion of Jesus but also the resurrection of Jesus, which we await on Easter. As we prepare for Easter Sunday let us use this time to quiet our minds, spirits. As you enter the church every Sunday use the time before the church service to sit in silent contemplation of where God is leading us as a church community and as individuals. Take a few minutes before the service starts to sit in quiet, listening to the Holy Spirit. Take a few minutes at the end of your day to see where God has appeared and how the holy has been present within you and in others you’ve encountered. I know that God is always present with you every moment of every day, but do we notice God’s presence? Friends I wish you a blessed Lent. Let us center ourselves in God’s presence and make space for the Holy One. God’s peace be with you.
