Ash Wednesday & Lent Observance Group
Weekly on Wednesday at 6:30 PM
Northview Community Church
Meet with us Wednesdays during Lent from 6:30 to 8pm.
Everyone is welcome, the group is open to anyone interested in observing the Lenten season - those who have little knowledge of the traditions and also seasoned observers.
Lent is the 40 day season of reflection and preparation for the death and resurrection of Jesus. It is a time of repentance, considering Christ's sufferings, and rethinking how we are called to take up our own cross.
The Lenten season starts on February 18th, Ash Wednesday. On that evening we will have Scripture, worship and prayer readings, with time for prayer individually and corporately.
The following Wednesday evening meetings will be a time to support one another in our observance of Lent and preparing for the joy of Easter. There will be discussion about the history and traditions of Lent, as well as ideas and encouragement for those who wish to observe Lent. There are many good devotional books on Lent available!
