The season of Lent that begins with Ash Wednesday and ends with Easter Sunday is, by tradition, a time of reflection, sacrifice, and going deeper into our faith.  It is a 40-day period plus Sundays.  During this time, we hear the stories of Jesus from the initial temptation in the wilderness, to his death on the cross, to the celebration of the empty tomb and his resurrection.  Like those first disciples, we follow him: watching what he does, listening to what he says, learning about who he is and who we are in relation to him.

Holding On and Letting Go is the theme for Lent 2010 at Disciples Christian Church.  Throughout these 40 days plus Sundays, we will give thanks for the pieces of our faith and traditions that are worth holding on to, the values we hold, and what is it that we return to when we fall away.  And, we will explore what it is we need to let go of in order to walk more closely with our God.  What is it that gets in the way of further growth as Jesus’ disciple?
