| LENT- A season for reflection and
penitence. A time to prepare for the celebration of Easter, the
resurrection of our Savior, Jesus the Christ. |
| The Lenten season brings us many
chances for worship and study together. God's love surrounds us,
and one more example of His Love is the Lenten Devotional
booklet. It is written and prepared by the members of Salem and
Bethany United Methodist Churches every other year. As you read
and use the
devotionals, we ask that you pray for the persons who wrote them.
For some, the thoughts and reflections came easy, for others not so
easy, but each one is written and offered to show how God is working in
their lives, and to show their love for God. |
| We are commanded to love.
When Jesus was asked which commandment was the greatest, he responded: Matthew 12: 29-31 "The most important one is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.'" |
| May the Lenten Season bring us
closer as Christians, may we work, serve, and love as Jesus Commanded. The Salem Witness Committee

Watch for the next Lenten Devotional in 2013!
