Welcome to the Season of Lent!
The season of Lent marks the forty days leading up to Jesus’ death and reports of his return to life three days later on Easter. The season of Lent began during the fourth century as a way to prepare our hearts and souls for Easter. Many people were baptized in their faith on Easter Sunday.
Lent is also a time set aside in the year to intentionally be more attentive to God. Some of us may be giving up (fasting) something for Lent. Some may be “giving up” alcohol, meat, chocolate or social media. Some may be “taking up” something new- a new prayer practice or gratitude practice, meditation or journal writing. Whether giving up or taking up- all rituals are a means of trying to experience a deeper sense of the Divine’s Presence with and within us all.
March 5th Ash Wednesday Service at 7 pm (prior to service pancake supper at 5: 30 pm in Trinity Hall.) Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of our six-week Lenten season. We will have an ashen cross placed on our foreheads made from the palm branches of last year’s Palm Sunday parade.
