Lent is the forty-day season of the church year beginning on Ash Wednesday and ending on Easter Morning. It takes its name from an ancient Anglo-Saxon word referring to the lengthening of the daylight hours over the season’s seven weeks. It is a welcomed season of growth after the cold, dark winter. - Growth in the natural world, but also a parallel growth that can happen in the spiritual dimension of our lives.

     Lent has traditionally been a season of preparation and self-examination as we reflect on Good Friday’s cross and anticipate Easter’s resurrection. During these weeks, we are invited to a more deliberate and disciplined practice of prayer, worship, study, and service.
