This summer we will enjoy a Sermon Series and Bible Reading Plan highlighting People of God in the Old Testament as well as some of the Psalms. It is my hope that we as a congregation will benefit from these Old Testament texts, being guided in our own faith journeys as we learn about these men and women of God.

A long time ago, when I was in college, I went to a concert that featured the Steve Miller Band. I still remember one of their song lyrics: “Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’, into the future.”

The 40 day season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on March 2 and continues through Saturday, April 16, the day before Easter Sunday. (The 40 day count excludes Sundays.) The Christian Church has celebrated Lent for many centuries as a way to encourage Christians to prepare for Easter by observing a period of spiritual discipline. The choice of 40 days echoes important 40-day and 40-year events in the Bible, including the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness.

The season of Advent has been observed for centuries by Christians as a time to consider the significance of the Son of God coming into the world and to prepare for the celebration of his birth.
“God is the last link of the chain, but He is the first also.”
