Keeping a Holy Lent
Lent lasts for 40 days, starting on Ash Wednesday and ending on Holy Saturday, which is the day before Easter Sunday. As we come together on March 5th for Ash Wednesday, we will receive an invitation to observe a holy Lent, emphasizing particular practices. Take time to pray about what the Lord is calling you to focus on this Lent.
