The Season of Lent at AHUMC
All are invited into this season of reflection and preparation that begins on Ash Wednesday (February 18) and concludes on Holy Saturday (April 4).
The word Lent refers to the "lengthening" days of the spring season and its 40 day observance is a time of self-examination, repentance, and fasting in preparation for the coming of Easter.

Worship will be in the CLC and includes Holy Communion.
