The Season of Lent

The early Christians observed with great devotion the days of our Lord's passion and resurrection, and it became the custom of the Church that before the Easter celebration there should be a forty–day season of spiritual preparation.

During this season converts to the faith were prepared for Holy Baptism. It was also a time when persons who had committed serious sins and had separated themselves from the community of faith were reconciled by penitence and forgiveness and restored to participation in the life of the Church.

In this way we are reminded of the mercy and forgiveness proclaimed in the gospel of Jesus Christ and the need we all have to renew our faith.

With this in mind, you are invited to observe a holy Lent:

• by self–examination and repentance;
• by prayer, fasting, and self–denial;
• and by daily reading and meditating on God's Holy Word.

Daily scripture readings may be found here. 

Join us for worship each Sunday throughout the season of Lent - we will have special ways to connect with God and one another! Prepare to be blessed!
