We begin the season of Lent this Ash Wednesday, February 22^nd.  We will have the blessed ashes imposed on our foreheads at our Wednesday evening Eucharist.  Lent is a time for each of us to go to the desert to pray and fast, just as Jesus did.  May these 40 days of Lent be a time of reflection and renewal.
