We are in the
season of Lent. Lent is a time of personal reflection. Lent is a
time when we reflect on ways we have let our channels to God become
clogged with our actions, or inactions. Lent is a time to clean out
those clogged channels or, in some cases to look and find our way to
God really for the
first time.
More than
anything, Lent is a time for purposeful searching. It is looking at
the life we lead, the world around us, people we encounter, and
discover where God may be in all of this. It is a time when we make
such searching a priority.
I encourage all
of you to take seriously this time of Lent and to take advantage of
opportunities offered for this both at St. Peter's and elsewhere.
Below are some of the opportunities available:
1 . Sunday
Services, of course, as well a Sunday School classes

3.
St.
Peter's Players on Wednesday nights - There will be a short (10
minutes) play based on Scripture each Wednesday after the supper and
before Holy Communion to raise issues and help you think
4.
Wednesday Night Services - there will be a Eucharist each Wednesday
night at approximately 7:00 p.m.
