Lent

Each year we are given a great opportunity to step out of our regular routine so we can take a look at how we are doing in our relationship with God. Lent is a great time to check ourselves. It is a chance for each of us to look deeper into how we are including God in our thoughts and actions. Many people choose to make sacrifices by abstaining from desserts, soda, or perhaps, fast food. Others will choose to focus on doing something extra like taking more time for prayer or participating in community service as a sign of commitment to God.

What's important during this Lenten season is that we are paying more attention to our spiritual selves and connection with God. As you begin this week of Lent, consider how your Lenten fasting and giving is drawing you closer to God.
