Lent. A time for reflection and giving

As we enter Lent, it is important to reflect on three elements of the season; prayer, fasting, and giving.

• Prayer is our opportunity to speak to God and grow closer, knowing God is by our side. 
• Fasting is to overcome temptation and consider cutting back on certain foods and/or luxuries.
• Giving to help those in need. Enabling people in vulnerable situations to overcome the challenges they face.
  
  

Lent is also a time to reflect on our blessings, all that we have and all that we hold dear, and in doing so to remember those who are in need or vulnerable. Supporting others and sharing what we have is a simple way to embrace Lent, deepen our relationship with God and prepare for Easter.
