Summary: Lent is a season to wake up and open our eyes to be totally astonished. It’s a time to discover the shocking ways that God is in our lives and be amazed that God comes this far to be with us. We come to church because in the rituals of worship - hearing the Word, partaking of the sacraments - we have an opportunity to perceive God’s grace most clearly. But then, our worship does not stop here. We are then sent out to look for God, and even more, to partner with God in our various roles and venues to love and bless the people and world God loves so much.
