LENT 2009The season of Lent is a time of preparation for Easter. It is an opportunity for us to grow in our awareness of God's presence in our lives. We ask you Lord to be with us during this period of Lent, and to help us to remember and to respond to your call to return to you with all our hearts. The CEIST Faith Development Team would like to share with you the following resources for Lent. They include prayer services for Ash Wednesday, Reflections on the Stations of the Cross, Lenten Reflections for Staff and Praying the Stations of the Cross.
