We are very blessed by the opportunity to work side by side with the people of Waldeck Evangelical Lutheran Church. Let us continue our journey through these forty days to the great Three Days of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Self-examination and repentance, prayer and fasting, sacrificial giving and works of love-strengthened by the gifts of word and sacrament. I invite you, therefore, to the discipline of Lent. But our sinful rebellion separates us from God, our neighbors, and creation, so that we do not enjoy the life our creator intended.Īs disciples of Jesus, we are called to a discipline that contends against evil and resists whatever leads us away from love of God and neighbor. We are created to experience joy in communion with God, to love one another, and to live in harmony with creation. We begin this holy season by acknowledging our need for repentance and for God’s mercy. Here is that Exhortation as presented in Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW) – the book used at Martin Luther Lutheran Church:įriends in Christ, today with the whole church we enter the time of remembering Jesus’ passover from death to life, and our life in Christ is renewed.
