We begin our journey through the season of Lent by being marked with ashes in the sign of the cross on our forehead with these words: "Keep Lent and turn to God with all your heart." This video explores customers, traditions, prayers and ways we can keep Lent as we walk together on the path to Jerusalem, preparing for the new life of Easter.

During these forty days we pray, we fast, we do good works, we remember. In each area this video invites us to deepen our understanding of Lent as a time to turn to God and to look at the way Jesus lived his life. Offering a memorial to Jesus by people who knew him, it challenges us to speak of Jesus in our life today.

As we choose ways to become more like Jesus, we continue our walk with others through these days of Lent, the events of Holy Week into the Easter Resurrection.

The season of Advent begins a new Church year and during these four weeks we prepair for Jesus' coming in our daily lives as we wait together for the fullness of Light to come into our world at Christmas. The custom of the Advent Wreath is the focus of this video. In the light of the Advent Wreath we remember, live and hope for one who has already come. Other Advent activites and traditions are included such as the Jesse Tree, an Advent Friend, Straw for a Crib and an Advent House to help young people appreciate the spiritual dimension of the Advent and Christmas seasons.
