First Lutheran Church Logan & Redeemer Lutheran Church Monkton

Reminder: Sunday’s service is a Joint service – there is no service in Monkton, and after the service Logan is holding their annual meeting. See you there!

Lent (Latin: Quadragesima,’Fortieth’) is the solemn observance in the liturgical year commemorating the 40 days Jesus Christ spent fasting in the desert and enduring temptation by Satan, as described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, before beginning his public ministry. This is a time of fasting, repentance, and contemplation.

We are entering the season of Gesimatide, the pre-lent season. This Sunday and the two that follow it lead us and prepare us for Lent, the time of repentance and fasting that comes before the joy of Easter!

The Epiphany marks the coming of the wise men to Bethlehem. This marked the first proof that Jesus, the Son of God, was sent to all men, not just to first century Jewish Palestinians. This is great news for all of us!
