"Remember that you are dust... and to dust you shall return."
These words are often offered during Ash Wednesday worship services.

The words are not meant to sound threatening or foreboding. Instead they remind us that we are not God, but God's good creation. As we receive the ashes on Ash Wednesday, we acknowledge our mortality, our dependence on God and our need for renewal. It is a call to live fully, love boldly and turn our hearts toward God’s grace.

Lent invites us into a season of reflection, repentance and renewal. How is God calling you to grow in grace in this season?

Christmas Season, from Christmas Eve through the Feast of the Epiphany, enables us to celebrate and contemplate the mystery of God becoming flesh and dwelling among us in Jesus Christ.

But what is the Season after Epiphany for? Is it just a way to count time between the end of Christmas and the beginning of Lent? Is it a primarily time to talk a lot about light? Or is it something more?

According to Rev. Taylor Burton-Edwards of Ask The UMC, the season after Epiphany has a familiar, but powerful, purpose: to call, nurture, and send disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world!

At the beginning of a new year, many United Methodists renew their covenant with God with a Covenant Service and a recitation of the Wesley Covenant Prayer--a prayer which John Wesley adapted from the Puritan tradition.

The prayer invites us to rededicate our lives to serving as Jesus' representatives in the world. It invites us into participating in self-emptying love.

May the words inspire you and your spiritual journey in the new year. Blessings and Happy New Year.
