Lent is about to begin in the church. Lent is the 40 days before Easter, not counting Sundays. Sundays are never counted because each Sunday is to be celebrated as an Easter. Lent is a time of self examination and denial, of study, and spiritual renewal. It begins with Ash Wednesday (February 22), and peaks during Holy Week: Holy Thursday when we remember the setting forth of the new covenant; Good Friday as we remember Jesus' death; and finally Easter Sunday when we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord. Easter Sunday is the highest holy day in the church and one of the most celebrated and best attended Sundays.
Besides Easter Sunday, one of our best attended special services is on Holy Thursday. At Ebenezer, we celebrate with a Christian Passover meal which concludes with Holy Communion. Why not come and celebrate with us? You are welcome to all services.
Hope to see you Sunday!
Rev. Bill Wasson
