Worship and Arts by Young

Winter is still here.  Some like the cold weather as they enjoy ice fishing, while others, like me, enjoy it as they find it refreshing.

Lent comes early this year.  Ash Wednesday falls amid winter, on February 10.  I invite you to a Lenten journey.

Jesus called the Twelve Disciples to follow him.  In response to His call, the Disciples took the road less traveled.  Now Jesus calls us to the road, the road of discipleship.  Don’t be afraid to take this journey.  You will not be alone as we—“sojourners” and “pilgrims”—take the journey together.  Just as we start with a prayer for our family trip, let’s begin this spiritual journey with a heartfelt prayer found in ELW 326:

Bless now, O God, the journey that all your people make, the path through noise and silence,

the way of give and take. The trail is found in desert and winds the mountain round, then leads beside still waters, the road where faith is found.

In the season of Love,

Young Chung, Interim Ministry Associate at Immanuel Lutheran
