Today UCCSA marks the beginning of the 40 day liturgical period of Lent as we also mark Ash Wednesday. We share for your reflection a sermon by Rev Dr Prince Dibeela, immediate past General Secretary published at the Congregational Chronicle in 2013. Ash Wednesday is the beginning of a journey to the cross and beyond. It ought to be a self-emptying of the self- kenosis. For some this means denying themselves of a few delicacies like chocolate, beef and other things that are non-essential for our living. However, the self-emptying I am talking about is deep and much more radical. It is reconnecting with our purpose as creatures created by a loving God. It is learning again what it means to be truly human, which is to worship God.
