FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT, March 10, 2019
Welcome to Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, where faith and beliefs converge to form a strong and supportive community. We invite you to join us on the First Sunday in Lent, which falls on March 10, 2019. This sacred season offers us an opportunity for reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal.
What is Lent and its Significance?
Lent is a special period in the Christian calendar that spans for 40 days, excluding Sundays, and leads up to Easter Sunday. It is observed by many Christians worldwide as a time for introspection and preparation for the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The word "Lent" itself comes from the Old English word "lencten," which means "spring."
During this season, Christians are encouraged to engage in various spiritual practices, including prayer, fasting, and acts of service. These practices promote self-discipline, deepen faith, and cultivate a closer relationship with God. Lent acts as a spiritual journey, echoing the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness.

Exploring Lent - A Spiritual Journey
During our First Sunday in Lent service, we will delve into the significant themes and practices associated with this holy season. Our knowledgeable and inspiring clergy members will guide us through the journey of self-reflection, repentance, and spiritual growth.
The Importance of Self-Reflection
Lent provides us with an opportunity to examine our lives, acknowledge our shortcomings, and seek forgiveness. Through prayer and self-reflection, we can identify areas of personal growth and work towards becoming better individuals.
The Power of Repentance
Repentance forms a crucial part of Lent and allows us to turn away from our sins and embrace a life aligned with God's teachings. It involves humbly acknowledging our mistakes, seeking forgiveness, and striving to make amends. Our First Sunday in Lent service will provide a supportive environment to explore the transformative power of repentance.
Prayer and Fasting
Prayer and fasting are two essential practices observed during Lent. They help us focus our minds, cleanse our spirits, and connect with God on a deeper level. Our service will offer guidance on incorporating prayer and fasting into our daily lives, enriching our Lenten experience.
Acts of Service and Love
Lent is also a time to actively demonstrate our faith through acts of service and love towards others. By extending compassion and kindness to those in need, we fulfill Jesus' call to love our neighbors as ourselves. Our community actively engages in various outreach programs, and we welcome you to participate and make a positive impact alongside us.
