Dear New Horizon Family,

Disciples, we walk with Jesus wherever he leads us, pulling our fears, doubts, and longings behind us. Believers, we seek to trust the God who always surprises us, whose promises take on flesh and blood in the good news of Jesus.

I pray that your second week of Lent is going well. This week, I was so encouraged by a post I saw from Pope Francis about Lent; they line up so well with our Methodist Heritage of the Quadrilateral, Scripture, Reason, Tradition, and Experience – Lent “immerses us in a bath of purification,” he said. “It means looking within ourselves and acknowledging our real identity, removing the masks we so often wear, slowing the frantic pace of our lives, and embracing the truth of who we are..!

I pray and hope the gift of YOUR STORY will bless your witness as you remember how precious you are. Have a blessed week.
