Lent

Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. The forty-day season is a time of reflection, prayer, penance, and meditation. It concludes with the celebration of Easter.

As we give up those things that keep us from God and commit to live in a way that makes more room for God to enter into our lives, God is always right there with us.
