Preparing For Lent
What is Lent? Lent is a time of repentance, fasting and preparation for resurrection Sunday (Easter). It is a time of self-examination, reflection and a time of seeking the Lord; His will and His heart. Just as Jesus prayed and fasted for 40 days and 40 days night, Lent is a time when Christians focus on their relationship with God, often choosing to give up something or to volunteer and give of themselves for others.
