The Season of Lent

Lent is a season for repentance, for turning from our old ways of life and opening ourselves to new experiences of God. While this is particularly true of those preparing for baptism, it also a call to us.

 

Lent is the time when we remember Jesus in the wilderness.  In the desert Jesus struggled with temptation and defeated the power of evil.  The church believes that this defeat is made complete on the Cross, when Jesus accomplishes his mission to save humankind.
