Lent Resources
Lent is a season in the year when the church around the world - and throughout history - seeks to draw closer to God.
Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness in preparation for what God was calling Him to do (Luke 4:1-13). We remember this time in Lent as we too set aside 40 days to reflect on what happened at Easter and to draw close to God, often through prayer and fasting. This isn’t something we are commanded to do, but it’s an invitation in the rhythms of the year to take time to invest in our relationship with God and to prepare like Jesus to step into the story that God wants to write in us and through us.
To help you make the most of this season, we’ve curated a list of great Lent resources you could use to help you reflect on Easter and draw closer to God.
