Lenten Opportunities

The season of Lent extends from Ash Wednesday through Holy Saturday. Lent is a time of reflection, contemplation, and intentional movement toward God. It is preparation to face the cross at Good Friday and the key to experiencing the joy of Jesus' resurrection on Easter Sunday. Lent begins on Ash Wednesday in a quiet time of worship, with the imposition of ashes.
 
Some choose to participate in spiritual practices during Lent. Some choose to slow down a bit and take a break from busy activities. Some choose to fast in other ways. Still others consider adding a specific spiritual discipline to their days, such as prayer, extra Bible study, meditation, daily devotions, daily silence.
Many of us add some form of community service to our regular routines. All of this is inthe service of becoming closer to God and preparing ourselves for the intensity of Holy Week. Our hope is that you will seek and experience God's love, care, and guidance during this important season.
