From Sr. Warden Robin Mill
Dear Redeemer Family,
As we enter the season of Lent, let us use this time for Reflection, Repentance, and Renewal. Come join us for our Lenten meals, as we Reflect on the meaning and history of Passover and other Jewish holidays. What do they teach us about Jesus? Our study will culminate as we celebrate an authentic Passover seder on Wednesday, April 16th. The seder is a fitting finish to our reflection, as Jesus’ Last Supper (as recorded in the first three gospels) was a Passover seder.
Lent is also a time of Repentance. We are able to remember times when we have walked with Jesus and also, times when we have strayed from His path. Many of us choose to take on a new or additional prayer practice. Others of us choose to give up something that may constantly remind us of the days leading up to Jesus’ death and glorious resurrection. These practices help us to feel closer to our Lord and Saviour. Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness praying and contemplating what was about to happen to him. May we also contemplate on His sacrifice, so that we may also obtain everlasting life in Him.
Renewal also comes in the season of Lent. As the dreary, dark, and cold of winter makes way to the warmth and sunny blue skies of spring. We see the buds on the trees, the blooming of the flowers, and the sweet sounds of the birds.
As we journey through this season of Lent, may we all take time to reflect, repent, and renew our personal commitment to walk the path that Jesus has laid out for us.
Faithfully,
Robin
