Here we are preparing to enter Holy Week. Journeys are not just about getting from Point A to Point B. We have walked with Jesus and each other and we will be walking still. Today we consider what God showed us in the wilderness, in fears, strength, and relationships as we have been encouraged to shift our focus to allow God to be more fully reflected and as Jesus invites us to move from fasting to feasting.

We are wired for relationship in the very way we are created. Created in the image of God who created in love. Love is a relationship and our very essence is bound up in God's vision. That vision is blurred at best and fractured at worst, due to the effect of what we call "sin." Lent is a time to be open with God about our dissatisfactions and our desire for a deeper life of faith. Join Pastors Carolyn Hetrick and Scott Schul as we continue our journey through the season of Lent and encounter God's desire for us.

Jesus wants us to do more than merely acknowledge the difference between reality and importance and truth, he calls us to embrace it. So to day we take on how Jesus see strength. What does that mean for you as a person of faith? Who are the strong? In what way do you wish you were stronger?

Join Pastor Carolyn Hetrick and Pastor Scott Schul of Grace Lutheran Church in State College, PA to be still and be met by God who wants to lead us on another path.
