MINISTER'S MESSAGE: LENT AND EASTER MUSINGS
Easter is just around the corner -- well about six weeks away. We have just entered into
Lent and will be looking at salvation and how God’s way of grace is far different from what we might choose to do ourselves.
We will also look at acts of love toward Jesus. The story of the Prodigal Son is one of our readings. So is Mary
using the expensive perfume to anoint Jesus in the home of her brother.
Easter is April 20 this year. It
is about as late as it can be. A late Easter brings a change to our usual church practice of having Easter Lilies and
Tulips in the sanctuary. Easter will be after tulip season, so we are only offering lilies this year. (See order form
below.)
Lent is a time when Christians are supposed to take a good and honest look at where their lives are in
terms of their faith. The call of John the Baptist was “Repent, and sin no more.” Jesus began his
ministry with the same theme, so there must be something important about changing into more Christ-like lives. Lent
is often misunderstood as a time to punish yourself by giving up something you enjoy. Many protestant churches encourage
adding something to your life, like more prayer time or doing extra charity work. If you choose to do anything special
for Lent, use it as a reminder that God is to be first in your life.
Our Wednesday evening Lent studies have
started with the Ash Wednesday Service. The studies begin at 6:30 p.m. This year we are looking at the prayers
of Jesus during the Passion. The weekly studies are based on “Let This Cup Pass”, “Why Have You Forsaken?”,
“Father, Forgive Them”, “Jesus, Remember Me”, “Into Your Hands I Commend My Spirit”, and
“Simon, I Have Prayed For You.” There will be no Wednesday night study during Holy Week; instead there will be
a Maundy Thursday service, April 17, also at 6:30 p.m.
If you cannot attend these studies I am recording them
and will post them on the Arlington Christian Church Facebook page. Use them as a part of your Lent observance.
They are thought provoking and faith inspiring.
Have a Faith-Filled season of Lent.
Happy Easter,
Lee
