Special Lenten Opportunities
LENT IS …A
time for looking at the things we do that are wrong or that tempt us, asking God's
& other people's forgiveness; A time for giving
up things that keep us from being loving people; A
time for doing extra things that will help us grow closer to God; A
time to be more aware of what it means to love as God loves us; A
time to ask God to help us to be more loving, remembering that God is always ready
to strengthen us
In addition to the
celebration of Holy Eucharist, the following services and activities will be offered

The
liturgy for Ash Wednesday sets the tone for our Lenten journey and discipline.
We are invited to create new hearts and lives for ourselves by self-examination
and repentance. The season of Lent is that time in which all Christians are called
to reflect upon their relationship with God in Jesus Christ. We
are encouraged during Lent to embrace the ancient practices of 'prayer, fasting,
almsgiving, self-denial and reading or meditating on God's holy Word". Lent
is especially an appropriate time to change our daily habits and look to our lives
differently. The opportunity exists in our lives to both "let something go"
and to "take something on". It
has been the practice of Christian peoples to use Lent as a time of preparing
for Easter. Each of us is invited to use these traditional ways of entering into
a deeper relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. The way we utilize the season
will influence our celebration of the Resurrection. You
are invited to keep a Holy Lent this year at Grace Church in Haddonfield. This
Web Page outlines a number of the activities, services, and programs in which
you may participate throughout the season. Come be with us during Lent. Come be
part of our efforts to make our faith a greater part of our day-to-day life. God
bless you and keep you. - With
warmest regards, I remain,
- Faithfully
yours in Christ
