OWEN WEDDLE
Good morning! I am Owen Weddle, the Associate Pastor at Central United Methodist.
Today is a day known as ASH WEDNESDAY. For churches that follow the Christian year, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season
of LENT. Lent [which means “40”] is a 40-day period that leads up to Easter.
For many Christians, the season of Lent has been a time to search our hearts, examine our relationship with God, and ask God for grace to help
us become more like Jesus. While Christians will sometimes give up something during Lent [like certain foods or pleasures], Lent is really
more about what we need removed from our lives that lead us away from God. Only when God is at the center of our lives can we truly
experience the meaning of “resurrection” and the kind of life God has for us to live.
As you go through these 40 days of Lent, we seek God. But what we often discover is that God is actually seeking US.
Have a blessed Lent and make it a GREAT day!
