What is Lent?

February 18, 2010 12:06 pm

Lent is a season in the Christian year that begins 40 days before Easter on Ash Wednesday. It is traditionally a time for soul-searching, penitence, fasting and preparation for the coming celebration of Easter. It is also common to give up certain things for the duration of the season as a means of devotion. You will note that our Sunday liturgy changes as well during this time. We read a more complete rendering of the Law of God, change our colors to purple (represents penitence and royalty), and refrain from saying “hallelujah.” This last practice, sometimes referred to as “burying the hallelujah,” brings a sense of loss and expectancy to our worship, both shifting our focus toward the suffering and death of our Lord Jesus Christ and enhancing our anticipation of His resurrection. It’s absence is palpable, and creates in us a longing that will be fulfilled when again we proclaim this word of heavenly praise together on Easter morning. And this reminds us that Lent is ultimately a way of seeking, through repentance and preparation, that the Lord would restore unto us the joy of His salvation (Psalm 51:12).

We have decided not to gather at Casa del Pueblo for worship this evening 2/7 due to the hazardous conditions

February 7, 2010 1:35 pm

We have decided not to gather at Casa del Pueblo for worship this evening 2/7 due to the hazardous conditions. Instead, I would encourage you all to gather with your small groups if you are within easy walking distance for a time of prayer and worship. Also, you could connect with nearby friends, or simply the people you live with. Whatever you do, I encourage you to set apart some time to come together in praise.

Also, as of right now Church of the Resurrection (Christ our Shepherd Church, 810 North Carolina Ave. SE) will be having a worship gathering at 5pm, and you are welcome to attend that as well -

If you do go out, be careful! God bless you all, and I will see you soon!
