In the Christian tradition, the season of Lent – these 40 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday – are a special time, a solemn and holy time, to draw closer to God. During these forty days of Lent, we are invited to grow in our relationship to Jesus Christ.
We begin our journey to Easter with the sign of ashes. This ancient sign speaks of the frailty and uncertainty of human life and marks the penitence of this community. We invite you, therefore, in the name of Christ, to observe a holy Lent by self-examination and penitence, by prayer and fasting, by works of love, and by reading and meditating on the Word of God. Please join us Wednesday evening.
