This  year during Lent we will be encountering many beloved stories about  Jesus and the people who come to him. He will meet Nicodemus at night,  he will find a Samaritan woman at a well, he will heal a man who was  born without sight. In each case these people are seeking something. It  might be a new beginning, a deeper faith, a different life, or maybe  they aren’t even sure what it is that they seek. Jesus questions and  conversation lead the people in surprising new ways which often leads to  new questions. 

This  series is based on the series that A Sanctified Art put together. There  will be a devotional booklet and prayer cards from them and of course  our theme. Each week we will be asking different questions. Along the  way we won’t always find the answer, but the hope is that they can help  us to see differently, perhaps gain a new perspective. Hopefully they  help us to find a wider grace and a deeper faith. 

Indeed, as the folks from A Sanctified Art who developed this series say, and I echo,  “What am I seeking? What is God seeking.”

This  is an invitation to be open to the spiritual practice of seeking. It is  an opportunity to look at our assumptions, soften our hearts, widen our  vision, and be open to the still speaking voice of our still speaking  God.
