Rev. Dr. Libby Grammer will preach a sermon entitled, “Journey to the Cross: Jesus in the Wilderness”
Jesus headed into the wilderness right after his baptism. Who’s in the wilderness around us? (Q&A with Rev. Bonnylee Witt, Chaplain)
Today is the First Sunday in Lent. Lent is the season in which we anticipate Jesus’ final trip to Jerusalem and the self-giving nature of love shown in his passion and death. The season begins with Ash Wednesday and extends for forty days through Saturday of Holy Week. Sundays are excluded from Lent, being regarded as feast days in the midst of the forty-day fast. Lent is a strongly penitential season. The liturgical color is purple, used to symbolize penance, preparation, sacrifice.
During the season of Lent, in a series called, “Journey to the Cross: Sacrifice in Real Life” we will explore the theme of sacrifice and how we see it lived out in the journey to the cross in scripture and our own journey to the cross as we experience this season of penitence together.
