LENT CANA East Newsletter

Bishop Julian Dobbs on… 
the season of Lent and the invitation of Jesus 
Lent is a time of penitence, fasting and prayer, in preparation for the great Feast of the Resurrection. And as we journey through these forty days, we do so by hearing and answering our Savior’s call.

Christian deaths are spiraling in Nigeria as militant Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram terrorists escalate their attacks, according to reports from religious liberty watchdog groups.
Almighty God, who seest that we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies, and inwardly in our souls; that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
[Book of Common Prayer 1662]

Lent Reading?
Consider:  The Forgotten Cross:  
Some Neglected Aspects of the Cross of Christ (2015)
 

   

This is a short book of expositions from the Bible, examining the cross and… success (1 Corinthians 1), service (Mark 10:32-45), suffering (1 Peter 212-25), separation (Ephesians 2:11-22), sanctification (Titus 2:1-15), and supremacy (Colossians 2:6-23)… while many have been preoccupied fighting battles over penal substitutionary atonement, we have often neglected other vital aspects of the death of Jesus.
CANA East believes in prayer
May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice. ( Psalm 141:2)
