Sermon Notes

  • Sermon on Lent 1 Year C 2016.docx

We don't often associate "positive thinking" with Lent, a 40 day period associated with words like "repentance" and "sacrifice." But today, as Lent begins, Fr. Allen uses a serendipitous sign message to explore how Lent might provide just the right kind of context for "thinking positively" in a way that allows us to change for the better.
