Lent Resources

Lent is a historic season in the Church.  For some this 40 day season may appear like "just another old tradition of the church." And yet, its history and use over centuries speak to its power and benefit to Christian across time. To set aside 40 days for repentance, renewal, and even to take an initial step of faith can prove powerful. Lent comes to us as a gift of those who have gone before us and experienced the power of the Spirit of Christ.  Below are some resources for you to learn about Lent as well as resources to help you have a more fruitful Lenten experience. 

2022 Lenten Devotional

In 2022, we are focusing our Lent around prayer.  During worship we will be learning more about the Lord's Prayer and we also have a Wednesday night Bible Study Class.
