During these forty days, the believers prepare their hearts, through spiritual exercises, to more fully connect to the death and resurrection of Jesus. Lent is a journey one takes to examine all those things in life that try to become as significant as God. Renouncing the idols in our hearts leads to a deeper devotion to the true God. Lent is also an inner journey of connecting with the vulnerability of life: "Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return." (Genesis 3:19). rnrnAsh Wednesday is an ancient holy day in the Christian church calendar. Its name, 'Ash Wednesday,' comes from the practice, in the early church, of burning the palm branches from last year's Palm Sunday, then using a bit of the ashes to mark a cross on your forehead, as a sign of repentance. We can use other symbols from our environment today to bring the same meaning into our own experience this season.rnrnWe hope that you will be able to join us on February 17 at 20:00.
