Lent is the season of the church year when we prepare our hearts and minds for Jesus’ death and resurrection. It is the 40 days preceding Easter, excluding Sundays. Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, the day when we recall our need for God, remembering our own mortality: “Dust you are and to dust you shall return.” This year we are invited to participate in Renewal Ministries special Ash Wednesday evening service at Calvin Presbyterian Church, Wednesday February 18th at 7 PM. Many people choose to “give up” or “take on” something for Lent in order to prepare themselves for Holy Week and Easter. You might give up a bad habit, or give up a treat for the duration of Lent. Or you might take on daily prayer or Bible study. There will be Lenten devotional booklets on the back table with readings and prayers to guide your preparation this year, if you choose to “take on” that discipline.
