Pastor Beryl's Blog: Lent Begins Ash Wednesday

Wow!  A year has somehow passed and once again, we are approaching the Lenten Season.  But this year, it will be like none we can remember.

As we continue with safe distancing and the legitimate fear of social contact other than for necessities, the church continues to re-invent the ways in which we do worship.

The Lenten Season is still important to so many of us as we walk the road to the cross with Jesus.  Keeping that in mind, this year SouthWest United is offering on-line resources for our Lenten Journey.

We are unable to take the first step with our pancake supper and dispensation of ashes but, attached to this, you will find resources for the week of Lent:

1. A short history of Shrove Tuesday, complete with a “no fret” pancake recipe

2. An “at-home” service for the self-dispensation of ashes

3. The daily readings for our first week of Lent

I sincerely hope you will find inspiration and comfort in the resources provided and pray that things will return to normal as soon as possible and we can once again eat, sing and give praise to Creator God as one.

In peace

Beryl
