FEBRUARY 14 – MARCH 30
Text 40days to 914-406-4607 to join us in fasting and prayer and to receive weekly reminders and encouraging devotional thoughts throughout this season.
What is Lent? Lent is historically the forty days before Easter when we participate in a time of fasting. Whether it’s fasting food, social media, or another distraction, the goal is to create space in our lives to seek God’s face and prepare our hearts for Easter weekend. These forty days have been used by followers of Jesus for thousands of years as a time to narrow our focus to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The goal of this weekly fast isn’t just to give up important things but to actually create an opportunity to have Jesus reveal our spiritual needs and understand how He perfectly meets each and every one.
We encourage you to take the time gained from whatever you’re fasting and replace it with prayer. Â
