The Season of Lent

The Season of Lent

Spending time with someone who is special is, I find, special.

As we continue to grow as beloved followers of Jesus, I’d like to encourage you to take advantage of the opportunity provided by the season of Lent. 

This 40-day period in the Christian calendar begins on Ash  Wednesday (22 February) and concludes on Easter Sunday (9 April). It’s 40 days long because this is the length of time that Jesus spent in the wilderness before his public ministry began. It was a time of preparation. During this time, empowered by the Holy Spirit, Jesus focused on His Father and withstood Satan’s temptation. 

Lent is a special period in our discipleship journey. Christians are encouraged to intentionally deepen in our faith as we journey towards Easter.  To help us, as church, we’re offering a range of ways and resources (see below and on the church website) to enable us to draw closer to God and deepen in faith individually and together.

I look forward to journeying through Lent together.                                                      Richard Jones
