2012 Confirmation Facebook Page

February finds us in the midst of our winter months with snowfall and the beautiful sunny days Colorado provides. Personally, you may be in your own dark days of winter or feeling 'sunny' about life right now. As a corporate body of Christ, we are Blessed to Belong together no matter the 'weather'.

On Ash Wednesday, February 22, we will be reminded of how we belong as we kneel at the rail; each to be marked with the cross of Christ. For our Lenten journey, we will be studying Signs of Belonging: Luther's Marks of the Church and the Christian Life by Dr. Mary Hinkle Shore. Dr. Hinkle Shore will be our guest consultant and preacher. She has written a compelling book about Martin Luther's signs of being a Christian and our mutual life. We are blessed to belong through Word, Baptism, Holy Communion, Forgiveness, Worship and the Cross.

Is it not true, we all long to fit in? We long to hear words of love and grace when we feel unlovable and our sin is before us. We long to be fed; physically, emotionally and spiritually. Thus when we gather as a community of believers, those longings are fulfilled in Christ, through worship and our shared life and journey.

Longing and belonging with you in our Lord, Jesus Christ,

Pastor Ruth Ann
