In this year of congregational transition, I invite you to consider the season of Lent as a time of reflection, something like a weekly Sunday morning retreat. During each Sunday we are invited to ponder core realities of our faith and of life as members of the Christian community known as St. John’s. By God’s grace through hymns, words, prayers and holy sacraments, we open ourselves to the renewal of our commitment to Christ and God’s mission in the world, both as individuals and as a congregation.
