Our Sunday gathering today is the 2nd Sunday in Lent 2024. Today’s gathering will include a worship sermon on “The Questions of Jesus: Do You Want to be Healed?”, and 12pm bible studies for all ages.

What is Lent?

The word “Lent” comes from the Old English word “lengten,” which simply means “spring” — when the days lengthen and new life springs forth. It is 40 days (Monday-Saturday; Sundays are considered a day of celebration because it is the weekly remembrance of Jesus’ resurrection over death, sin, and Satan) from February 14-March 28. During Lent we anticipate the victory of the light and life of Christ over the darkness of sin and death on Resurrection (Easter) Sunday on March 31st.

During Lent, we engage in daily actions to love God and our neighbor. This will include studying the Gospel of John. The calendar can be found at www.calvayreformedcle.com; click on “Lent 2024 Discipleship Calendar”.
