A Quiet Space

In this message, Pastor Lonnie emphasizes how, in a world full of constant noise and distractions, Lent calls us to choose something different: silence. Not just the absence of sound, but a deeper stillness where we can listen to our own thoughts and hear God’s voice.    As Fox River prepares to celebrate 25 years as a congregation, this season feels especially meaningful. Lent isn’t just a time to reflect on the past; it's also a time to prepare. We remember Jesus’ forty days in the wilderness. It was not a time of defeat but of strengthening and clarity. Similarly, the wilderness seasons in our own lives, and even this milestone in our church’s journey, may be shaping us for what lies ahead.    As we look toward the next 25 years, we do so with confidence. The same faithful God who has brought us this far continues to lead us forward. The wilderness is not the end of the story. Resurrection is on the horizon.
