Lent Services

“I didn’t know I needed that” is a common expression of surprise and realization.  It suggests that something, whether it’s a piece of information, a lesson learned, or a newfound understanding, has come to light and is now recognized as being essential or valuable, even if it wasn’t previously apparent.

Lent is the season of the Church Year when I recognize my greatest needs.  During Lent, I realize that in Christ all my greatest needs are met.  God knows what I need even when I don’t have any idea.  The Holy Spirit makes it clear, week after week, that if I lack Christ, I have nothing.  But if I have Christ, I have exactly what I need.
