We live in a shallow world with quick answers, constant motion, and noise both inside and out. Lent calls us deeper--beneath distraction, beneath habit, beneath self. In the Old Testament, God often led His people into deep work confronting what was broken, healing what was hidden, and shaping His people for wholeness. This Lent, we enter that same journey and allow God to go beneath our surface to connect us more to our Divine Design.

We come to this fist Sunday of LentrReturning to where we first met God. Pastor Karla asks us to remember our Bethel, and asks what hashappened since? What cultural clutter has accumulated? What sin has built up in our lives? She then invites us to clear away what has accumulated which allows us to hear from God again.

Passage: Psalm 24:3-6, Genesis 35:1–7

We begin the Lent Season with a special Ash Wednesday Sermon. Pastor Karla leads us into the Lenten Season by asking us to examine in ourselves the feelings that are similar to those found in the writier of Psalm 42. Why are you downcast oh my soul? At the depths is the feeling of being overwhelmed. Yet, whatever the depths of God, is the appeal to the corresponding depths in us.

We are back with a new podcast series to compliment our Sunday sermon teaching, Earthwise: God's Call to Care for Creation. We are inviting professionals from our community to share from their experience and explore how environmental stewardship is an act of justice, discipleship, and hope in Christ.

For our final installation of this podcast series, R.O. Smith sits down with Rangeland Ecologist and Environmental Entrepreneuer, Lisa VanAmburg to discuss a new movement called "upcycling", the life cycle of plastic and its effects on our environment, and practical changes we can make in our every day lives to care for God's world better. Lisa's momtto is to "live simply, so others can simply live."
