Rituals During Lent & How COVID-19 is Reshaping the Lenten Season

Pastor Sami calls in to our podcast and discusses why we practice Lent, what happens during Lent, and why it is important.  Lent lasts for 40 days and is normally a time for reflection, before we celebrate Jesus' resurrection at Easter.  The coincidence of the COVID-19 pandemic ramping up during the Lenten season has given us ample opportunity to reflect and really absorb how it feels to journey through the darkness and not be in control, much like the disciples must have felt.  Pastor Sami encourages us to rely on our faith, God's everlasting love, and our community to get us through this time.
