Lent Reminders

LENT
Just a reminder The Forty Days before Easter are the Lenten season. During this time we omit the refrains that are connected to celebrating Christ’s resurrection and we use the verses appropriate for Lent.
They are:
• We refrain from singing or saying Alleluias because of its connection to Easter.
• There is no Absolution (minister declaring our forgiveness, page 118) for all of Lent is a time of self-examination.
• We use the Apostles’ Creed.
On Easter Sunday, March 31, we will return to the verses praising our Lord and His resurrection.
