Lent

Lent is a time of repentance, fasting and preparation for the coming of Easter. It is a time of self-examination and reflection. Find devotionals, activities for families, inspiring stories and information about our faith for the observance of the Lenten seasons.

By using the Revised Common Lectionary, United Methodists share with other Christians the scriptures read each Sunday. The 20th anniversary edition of the Revised Common Lectionary, courtesy of Augsburg Fortress.

The Consultation on Common Texts has issued a series of alternative readings for Good Friday, Easter Season and the Season after Pentecost to address concerns about anti-Judaism in the Revised Common Lectionary.
