What is Lent?

Lent invites us to deep heart preparation in order to fully celebrate the greatest event in human history.
Lent invites us to die to certain things in the physical, in order to make way for life in the spiritual.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Discussion Questions:
