March 2023 Pastor’s Letter

From the Desk of Pastor Melissa

Dear Friends,

The season of Lent is filled with stories of people who are seeking a deeper faith, forgiveness, healing, a different life—in other words, a new beginning. Each encounter with Jesus is filled with questions, disrupted assumptions and new perspectives and understandings are revealed. In each, more of who Jesus is and isn’t is revealed.

Like the people we meet over the weeks of Lent, we too are full of questions regarding our savior, our faith and our being. The past few years have been full of big questions about God and who God is inviting us to be. We are wondering how do I follow Jesus? What is sacred? How wonderful to love our God who welcomes our questions, whatever they may be. This Lenten season, I hope you will ask yourself: what am I seeking? What is God searching for in me? May these questions draw us closer to God and to one another.

I look forward to seeing you in worship,

Pastor Melissa
