The season of Lent is the 40 day period between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday that invites us into a time of reflection and mindfulness as we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection on Easter. By observing the season of Lent, we replicate Jesus Christ’s sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days. Many take on a Lenten discipline by either giving up something or taking on something else in an effort to be more prayerful or more conscious of the things that distract us from God. We have put together a list of potential practices to help you observe the Lenten season as we prepare our hearts for Easter. You can read about these practices here.
A few years ago Rev. Amy and Fr. Mac led a special FORUM gathering on “Lent as a Season for Spiritual Practice” where they discussed how we can deepen our spiritual practices and connection with God during this season of preparation. We encourage you to take time to watch this special FORUM again this year as we begin our Lenten journey. You can view this video HERE.
