Our theme for this year’s journey through Lent is Seeking, as we are being invited into a season of holy curiosity – a season of asking, noticing, and drawing closer to God. And like the earth stretching toward spring after a long winter, we trust that this season of seeking is not empty wandering, but sacred preparation.

Lent is the six weeks leading up to Easter. It’s a time when the soil of our lives is gently turned over. What feels dormant is not dead. What feels quiet is not forgotten. Beneath the surface, God is already at work restoring, renewing, and breathing life where we least expect it.

As the days grow longer and the light begins to linger, we can be encouraged that resurrection is not only a future promise, but a present unfolding. In our seeking, in our wondering, in our turning toward God again, new life begins to rise.
