Every year Easter can sneak up on us and pass us by without us really making the best use of this season. We can get distracted by bunnies, chocolate, public holidays, and totally miss the chance to focus our hearts and lives on the real meaning and significance of Easter. In order to help us walk through the journey to Calvary, Christian Churches for years have participated in Lent. Lent has been celebrated in many different ways, some good, some not so! But my hope is that we can capture this 40 day period as a chance to follow Jesus on the road to Calvary, focus in on our sin, his death, our salvation, and the hope of resurrection.

Lent begins Feb 26th and goes through to Maundy Thursday April 9 (the night before Good Friday).

To help us, I have found a few Lent Devotionals that will help you to walk through this seasons well.
