For those of you who maybe don’t read the full newsletter to the bottom each week (or haven’t looked at the back of your bulletins on Sunday morns đ!), you may have missed that over the past month or so we’ve been adding a section called “Prayer Pointers.” This space is for us to use as a springboard in growing a spiritual habit of prayer as a community by providing some reflections on prayer from the scriptures (or notable Christian) and then ending with a prayer for you to pray this week. You’re encouraged to use it as you will. This week I’ve decided to kill two birds with one stone and am using the space where I usually write a little blurb to simply be the prayer pointer for us.Â

I trust you’re having a good week and a meaningful Lenten season… for those who are actively observing it. I’m going to be honest with you – this year’s Lent, for me, has so far been a bust. I find myself struggling to connect with the season’s depth and purpose. And I know this is probably not a good confession for a pastor to make, but, it’s real. Typically, Lent is a time for reflection, repentance, and renewalâa period where we draw nearer to God as we prepare our hearts for the mystery of Easter, the centre of our Christian calendar. Yet if I’m being totally honest, this year, that closeness feels… elusive at best.â

Maybe I’m just getting old but time sure seems to be moving fast these days. My wife reminded me that this week marks the five-year anniversary of COVID being declared a global emergency. Five years! Remember trying to figure out what 6′ looked like for social distancing? Or the panic-buying of toilet paper? How we all got into baking sourdough bread like we were auditioning for a baking show and learned (some of us STILL learning) how to unmute ourselves on Zoom. Those were wild and unpredictable days. No one knew from one day to the next what the next new thing to be flung at us would look like.
But then something happened.
