This Sunday at Peace

Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11. And Genesis 2:15-17, 3:1-7

a note from Holly

We begin our Lenten journey, like every year, with Jesus in the wilderness. In Matthew’s gospel, it’s more test than temptation.

I appreciate that.  And, even more, that we are in this together to grow, to stretch, to heal.

Dear One,

You call us into the waters of grace

and because we are human

and live in a messy world...

you call us forward

into the challenges and tests of life

We take comfort that

there is no moment when you are far from us...

and no moment when we cannot grow, stretch and attend

to those around us

Lead us in this Lenten season to embrace our limits,

rest easy in your heart and

share our gifts with grace and joy

Peace to you,

Holly
