Lent 2024

The season of Lent is a time to prepare for Easter. This year’s Lenten theme is “Feasting in the Wilderness,” and will focus on Israel’s journey out of Egypt. Just as the children of Israel feasted on heavenly bread and miraculous water, so too we feast on Christ.  As Jesus reminds us in John 6, he himself is “the living bread that came down from heaven….Whoever feeds on his flesh and drinks his blood has eternal life” (6:51, 54). Wilderness wandering is tough. But the story of Israel is a reminder that God feeds us with himself in the wilderness.
