Candy and Lent?
Walking with God in the new year

When you are employed by the Church (which I am not at this time), you get steeped in everything connected to faith. From the liturgical (seasonal) cycles, to saints' days, holy days, diocesan events, parish councils and even educational and inspirational webinars--needless to say, awareness and engagement come easily.
When you do not live in church-world, these things may not have such a prominent place in your life.
What inspires you to participate in the community life of your church? What gets you thinking about current church issues, reading documents or supporting your church's needs?
What needs do you have?
What helps you prioritize your faith so that it is integrated into every part of your life?
It bears repeating--life is profoundly greater with God than without.
I hope you will make 2024 the year you find new and exciting ways to walk with God every day.
