 February brings us the opportunity to renew our faith by observing and celebrating the season of Lent. Lent is the 40 days (excluding Sundays) before Easter.  We recognize 40 days because Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness.  During that time, Jesus fasted and was faced with various temptations.

 I want thank all of you for your kindness and generosity throughout the Advent and Christmas seasons. Your friendship means a lot to me and my family. I am so glad I was able to celebrate another Christmas with you! I’m also looking forward to the new year and what it will bring! There are some great things beginning to happen here. The Vital Congregations group is finding ways that we can reach out and share Jesus with others! Hopefully you can be a part of these opportunities this year!
