Lent 2023 @ Kona UMC (2/22-4/6): Lent is a 40-day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends at sundown on Holy Thursday. It’s a period of preparation to celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection at Easter. Lent is influenced by the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness prior to beginning His ministry. For this season, we desire to emerge from our personal wilderness prepared to make disciples.
