A Message & Invitation from Pastor Holgie

Lent has its roots in the early centuries of the Christian Church. Traditionally lasting 40 days (excluding Sundays), Lent mirrors the 40 days Jesus spent fasting and praying in the wilderness. It is a season marked by prayer, fasting, repentance, and acts of charity, serving as a spiritual journey towards transformation.

​

​Lent centers around three key theological themes: repentance, self-denial, and spiritual renewal. During this season, we are called to examine our lives honestly, turning away from sin and seeking forgiveness. Spiritual renewal comes through increased prayer, study of Scripture, and service.

​

​Our theme for this season is "Learn to Walk with Jesus" and it begins with Ash Wednesday (February 18th).  This is a day when we receive ashes on our foreheads as a sign of repentance and mortality. The journey with Jesus culminates in Holy Week, which commemorates the final days of Jesus’ earthly life—His triumphal entry on Palm Sunday, the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday, His crucifixion on Good Friday, and finally, His resurrection on Easter Sunday. I invite you to join us on this jouney.
