Spiritual Growth Resource Guide
Lent is a season of forty days, not counting Sundays, which begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. Lent is a time of repentance, fasting, and preparation for the coming of Easter. It is a time of self-examination and reflection. It is a time to experience Jesus. Here are some resources to help you in your Lenten reflections and preparations.
Fasting
One of the more common practices is to give something up for Lent. We fast to reorient ourselves away from the distraction of those things, and back toward God. Learn more about fasting HERE.

Lectio 365 is a free daily devotional resource that helps you pray the Bible every day. During Lent, join Jesus on the journey to the cross through the Gospel of Mark. Learn more about Lectio 365 HERE.
