The Season of Lent
Lent is a time to take the time
to let the power of our faith story take hold of us, (Ann Weems Kneeling In Jerusalem, copyright 1992. Published by Westminster/John Knox Press, p. 20.)
Lent is time of 40 days of grace between Ash Wednesday and the "Three Days" of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. It comes from the Old English word, lencten, or spring. You're invited to join us on this journey!
