Rather than focusing on our own self-denial, we emphasize the sacrificial love of a Savior who gave everything so that we might have life. Though not a divine command, we observe these forty days in Christian freedom as we prepare our hearts for Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Join us as we reflect on the grace and mercy God has so richly given to us. God bless your Lent season!
