Today we welcome the Season of Lent and begin a new worship series called “The Way.”    

Making intentional journeys has been a ritual of humankind across time and traditions. Inspired by passages in the scriptures that talk about the journeys, roads and pathways of life, we will make our way together through this time. The popular and poignant movie, The Way, about a father’s pilgrimage in honor of his late son on the famed Camino de Santiago in France and Spain, accompanies us as our modern-day inspiration to live the life we’ve been given to the fullest.

Jesus went on a pilgrimage into the wilderness after his baptism by John in the Jordan River. A common practice among spiritual leaders of his day, this was a time to dig deep into the humanity of his soul. Along the way he encounters what we all encounter along the paths of life–temptations to stray from the path that God has intended for us. But “all who wander are not lost,” as the saying goes, for it is in the wandering often that we find our true selves.  Join us as we journey together, Pastor Pam

We are a wilderness wandering people

on a journey of the soul.

May we find our destination

in our longing to be whole.

Our Holy God is calling to us.

With Jesus by our side

may compassion be our compass;

may the Spirit be our guide,

on The Way,

on The Way,

on The Way.
