What is Lent?
Lent is a time when Christians around the world slow down to reflect on what Christ did on the Cross of Calvary! Lent is a 40 day period plus Sundays, for a total of 47 days in which we take on new challenges in our faith and strive to become more aware of who Christ is in us.

Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, when we remember that according to Genesis 1, we came from the earth and when we die we return to the very earth from which is our origin.
Lent can be a time when the around the world can work together to meet the needs of those who suffer injustice, provide resources for the less fortunate and represent Christ in the day to day routines of life.
It is my hope and prayer that the challenges that the people in the church take on in Lent will become a part of their permanent life style.
Have a blessed Lent and take an moment now and thank God for the gift of Jesus and the Cross of Calvary and the Empty Tomb of Easter!
