It speaks to me of Lent – of the time we spend over these 40 days seeking God in prayer and in the Bible.  Some of are also seeking the face of God in ‘Christ in Art’.  There are countless pictures of Jesus and his life.  Sometimes looking at images can give us an even deeper understanding of our faith.  How might Christ be revealing himself to us through them? 

Of course, Christ taught us that we can find his face in those whom we serve (Matthew 25).  That is the kind of faith that motivates the Street Pastors to spend freezing winter nights out in Stirling looking after those who are in need – often the worse the wear from their partying.  They find that those they help are sometimes curious about why the Street Pastors do it, and that leads on to significant conversations about God.  It is one of the most exciting kinds of Christian outreach in our city just now – and it is our Lent charity this year.

We are beginning to ask ourselves ‘Where should Holy Trinity seek the face of the Lord?’  This is the question that Casting the Net poses for us:  where should we be seeking to join Christ in his mission to those around us?  How can we reach out in love and find God as we love and serve our neighbour?  Pray that we may be guided in the decisions we take about this.
