  Lent is a 40-day period leading up to Easter. It lasts from Ash Wednesday to Holy Thursday, excluding Sundays. Sundays are an important part of Lent, but we do not include them in the “40 days” because on every Sunday we remember and celebrate the Resurrection of Christ. Lent is a time for reflection, self-examination, repentance, and deepening one's relationship with God. During this season of the church year, the focus generally shifts from Jesus’s public ministry to his final journey to Jerusalem. Lent   prepares us for the Passion of Jesus (the story of his arrest, trial, suffering  and crucifixion) and anticipates his resurrection.   

    Holy Thursday commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples and reminds us of the importance of humility, selflessness and service to others. It is also known as Maundy Thursday

.   The Seder meal is a symbolic retelling of the night the Angel of passed over" the houses marked with the blood of the lamb. Jesus and his disciples were eating the Seder meal when Jesus was arrested on Holy Thursday. Suggested Reading: Mark 14:12-25   Maundy Thursday Service: 7pm
