Lent (#inflightreading2015)

  Wednesday, February 18, 2015 at 5:28 PM    

Today marks a special day in remembering Christ's sacrifice and resurrection for us at the cross. We are forty days away from celebrating our Savior's redeeming work for His people and we generally commemorate this day by 'fasting' (sacrificing a certain aspect of our lives in remembrance). This year, however, we encourage you to participate by spending time in reflection on this upcoming season of sacrifice.

What is Lent?

 For some Christians, Lent has always been a part of their spiritual life, but for others it is unfamiliar. Lent is a season leading up to Easter, a time when Christians have historically prepared their hearts for Easter with reflection, repentance, and prayer. Lent begins with Ash Wednesday and proceeds for forty days, excluding Sundays, and culminating with Good Friday and Holy Saturday. Since Sundays are weekly celebrations of the resurrection of Jesus, the six Sundays in Lent are not counted as part of the forty-day season, which focuses on introspection, self examination, and repentance. Many Christians choose to celebrate a fast throughout the season of Lent, but the focus is not on depriving themselves of something as much as it is on devoting themselves to God and his purposes in the world.*

 Join us as we read together this devotional plan in commemoration of the Easter season. Read along in addition to the Bible reading plan you have (#inflightreading2015) and challenge yourself to grow closer to Christ over the next few weeks. And we hope to celebrate together at Good Friday Service (April 3) and Resurrection Sunday (April 5) this season!
