Learning to let go
What is Lent?
Lent is a sacred season of reflection, renewal, and spiritual growth observed by Christians worldwide. It begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts for 40 days, leading up to Easter Sunday (excluding Sundays). In 2025, Lent begins on March 5 and ends on April 19.
Rooted in the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness, Lent is a time to deepen our faith through prayer, fasting, and acts of kindness. It invites us to let go of what no longer serves us and embrace spiritual practices that draw us closer to God.
At Unity Church of Downriver, we see Lent not as a time of sacrifice, but as a powerful opportunity for inner transformation. It’s a journey of releasing limiting beliefs, affirming divine truth, and stepping into a higher awareness of God’s love and presence in our lives.
Join us in this season of renewal as we walk the path toward spiritual awakening and Easter’s promise of new life and resurrection.
