Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, March 6, with a service at 7:00 pm, which will include scripture readings, prayer, meditation, Holy Communion and the imposition of ashes. This ancient tradition is “a public expression of repentance and of our human frailty that stands in the need of Christ,” according to Tertullian, an early church theologian. Lent is also a reminder of the time Jesus spent praying and fasting in the desert before assuming his ministry. What will you be seeking in the 40 days of Lenten prayer and meditation?
