I am pondering these words spoken during our Ash Wednesday service on Wednesday: “The journey of repentance is about “turning around” (the origin of the word) so that we might be in right relationship with God. In a sense, we are looking for love once again. When we look to God for love- not simply for the approval of others- and start with our own “turning,” we participate in the “turning around” of the world.”

It is less than a week until Ash Wednesday, and we have been busy preparing for Lent!

Super Bowl Sunday is this Sunday! I only mention this because we were planning to have our Black History Month Movie Night on Sunday. However, many people will be watching the game, and this is the first time both quarterbacks are Black! So, this event is history in the making, no matter which team wins. If you watch, I hope you enjoy the game!
