Lent is Here !!!

Literally, "lent" comes from the Anglo-Saxon word for spring. Spring is the season when all of God's creation comes back to life from the death of winter. Easter is the day when we celebrate Christ's resurrection--His victory over sin which brings us back to life from the death that separates mankind from God. Lent is a season of penitence and preparation for the resurrection day. May you be filled with joy in your humility, and purpose in your preparation.

The season of Lent is forty days, not including Sundays. Christ fasted in the wilderness forty days after his baptism. It was a time of prayerful preparation for the years of ministry that lay ahead for him.
