Event Navigation
Ash Wednesday marks the first day of Lent, the 40 days of preparation before Easter.
During Lent, many spend the time in self-examination and reflection as modeled by Jesus in Matthew 4:1-11, where he prayed and fasted for 40 days before beginning his ministry.
We encourage you all to reflect on God’s presence and movement in your personal lives through this season.
