LENTEN SERVICES TO BEGIN
Lenten Services will begin Wednesday, February 21st starting at 6:30pm. The services will continue each Wednesday until March 28th. Lent is a time of soul-searching and repentance. It is a season for reflection and taking stock of our spiritual lives and our relationship with the Lord. Lent originated in the very early days of the Church as a preparatory time for Easter, when the faithful rededicated themselves and when converts were instructed in the faith and prepared for baptism. By observing the forty days of Lent, the individual Christian imitates Jesus’ withdrawal into the wilderness for forty days. Come join together as we prepare our hearts for the blessing of Easter.
CHURCH LIBRARY OPENED!
