Hold the wonder of this season near to your heart – in the freshness of a spring breeze, in the cascade of brilliant bloom, in the miracle of new life leaping forth from the fertile earth.

God is close, as near as your next breath.  Walk these days of Lent with great courage as you face the challenges before you, drawing from the deep well of grace that is the gift of holy love.

Rev. Jeff Sockwell, Shallowford Presbyterian Church, Lewisville, NC
