We enter into the season of Lent (the 40 days leading up to Easter) with this meditative service including prayer, reflection, communion and the imposition of ashes. Lent is traditionally a season of spiritual practices of contemplation, generosity, prayer, and self-discipline.You may wish to embrace a spiritual practice for this season, such a fasting, or giving something up. Or perhaps you will want to take on something, or a bit of both. However you choose to observe this season, it is a reminder that God calls us into time of preparation. Change doesn't happen overnight.
