Dear Friends: 

 

In this month of February we will finally have put the last of the Christmas decorations away and turn our thoughts into the focus of making the journey to the cross in lent.  

 

There was a conference notice that came across my desk, called “Game Changers.”  It will be focusing on what events, thoughts, people, can be game changers in our lives.  This seems to be the thought as we approach the Easter season.  Something changes in the game and

everything for all time becomes different. 

 

We are going to change things up a bit during lent this year.  We are going to try and do a simple supper and bible study on Wednesday evenings here at the church during lent.  We will start out with a light supper and the do a bible study.  If you would like to come as a family, we will have something for the children to do as well during the adult study.  More details will follow but we hope that we can give some thought about what the game changers are in scripture and how it applies to our own life. 

 

There will be much talk about love during this month and I challenge us all to consider who and how we can share God’s love with another person.  What are the ministries that can come from just small actions for the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

 

As we move into Lent, some will give something up, we might also consider taking something on, such as bible study or giving in some way to someone else. 

 

Let us celebrate the ending of the old on Shrove Tuesday and start the journey to the coming of the new. 

 

In His Steps-
