March 1, 2020: First Sunday in Lent

Sunday’s Readings

Genesis 2:4–9, 15–17; 2:25–3:7 Psalm 51 Romans 5:12–21 Matthew 4:1–11

Dcn Adewale Giwa-Alaka asks us to begin our Lent with the story of creation on, noticing in particular the differences God made in making man verses the rest of creation. The extra care God took and the materials he used to make man should give us perspective on our natural relationship with God. As we enter this season of repentance, realizing that natural relationship should be the start of our spiritual growth.
