LENT
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! – 2 Corinthians 5:17
Lent
The season of Lent is the period between Ash Wednesday, February 18 and Holy Saturday, April 4.
Lent is a time set apart to prepare us for Easter. We spend 40 days in self-reflection and Godly-reflection leading up to the Holy days of Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. It is a time where the people of the church are invited to try a new life routine for the purposes of refocusing back on God.
During this season the church offers a Lent devotion book and we encourage everyone to read the devotions daily throughout Lent. We also encourage everyone to be a part of a small group to discuss the material together. We are looking for people to facilitate a small group. Being a facilitator doesn’t mean you know all the answers, it means you help coordinate a meeting time and place for the group to meet. The small group discussion is led by the book. Please begin prayerfully considering being a part of these opportunities for Lent this year.
The season of Lent is the period between Ash Wednesday, February 18 and Holy Saturday, April 4. A period of 40 days as a reminder of our Lord Jesus’ time in the wilderness.
This is the time of year to reflect on the love of God that is poured out through Jesus on the cross in His death. During Lent, worship assumes a penitential nature feel, reminding us of our sin and our mortality.
This Lent we will be focusing on This We Believe based on the Nicene Creed.
