Prayer, Fasting, & Almsgiving

Ash Wednesday opened the season of Lent, a time of sacrifice and repentance as we strive to turn our hearts to Jesus. The ashes we received at church remind us of our mortality and the need to repent of our sins. The shape of the cross reminds us that we have a savior in Jesus Christ.

Traditionally, there are three pillars of Lent to help us in our journey closer to the Lord: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. By making sacrifices and practicing these three things, we can deepen our love for Jesus this Lent.

what you are all giving up for Lent. 

Keep the three pillars of Lent in mind. How can you practice prayer, fasting, and almsgiving this Lent?

Make sure to write down what you're giving up and place it in an easy-to-see spot, such as the refrigerator or dinner table.

While your family is coming up with your Lenten sacrifices, listen to some beautiful music to help inspire you and bring you closer to the Lord.
