In our conversations with the leaders we coach and train, it seems there is a growing number of Christians and churches who observe at least part of the liturgical calendar. And Lent is usually the first place they start.
Lent is a season of 40 days of repentance and preparation for the joys of Easter. Lent starts on Ash Wednesday (February 17 this year), and lasts until Easter Sunday (April 4th this year).
