As we continue making our way through Lent, keep in mind the 3 disciplines of the season: Prayer, Fasting and Giving.
Enjoy this guest post on prayer by Sowmya Gali.
“Catch me, Daddy!” When a child is about to jump off the table, he/she expects daddy to catch, a belief that every child has. A reckless belief with which they come into this world, engraved into their DNA. Is it possible to have such faith in our Lord, our Abba Father? In the One who created us?

Lent: Prodigal Son
Excited to have guest blogger Meredith Ainley share her thoughts on Lent with us! Enjoy!
I have recently been thinking a lot about Luke 15:11-32, commonly known as “The Parable of the Prodigal Son.” This is because of class assignments and because our church community is reading short excerpts from Henri Nouwen’s writings throughout the season of Lent. The author is especially associated with this season because of his book, The Return of the Prodigal Son, and he talks about the profound effect Rembrandt's painting had on him, especially the embrace of the father and son.
