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.

Maundy Thursday gets its name from the Latin word "mandatum," meaning "commandment."

 

On this day we remember the emancipation of the Israelites from Egypt and the Last Supper, when Jesus washed the feet of the disciples and called us to be people of love.

 

Worship will be in the CLC and includes Holy Communion.

 

Childcare is available for children under age 10.

On Good Friday, we are prepared for the mystery of Easter as we remember the great love and sacrifice of Jesus.
