1 HEBRON HERALD Volume 27, Issue 2 February 2018 Annual Meeting And Beginning of Lent Are In February By Rev. Frank Wyche, Pastor The Annual Meeting of the Congregation of Hebron Presbyterian Church will be held on Sunday, Feb. 4, following morning worship. (See story on back page.) Lent, the season of preparation before Easter, will begin on Ash Wednesday, February 14. Lent is the 40 days before Easter (not counting Sundays). It is a time for penitence and reflection for Christians before they celebrate Easter. Easter is April 1 this year. Lent is usually observed in three ways: by penitence (self-examination and self-denial); by increased almsgiving (and other good works); and by increased devotional activities (attending regular and special worship services, and increased prayer and devotional study). The English name Lent originated before 1000 A.D. and came from the Old English word lencten or lengten, which literally meant lengthening (of daylight hours) and came to mean spring since daylight hours lengthen during the season of spring, which is when Easter occurs. Many people give up something for Lent. The idea is not simply to practice self-denial or self-discipline, but to re-direct one s thoughts and activities toward God, instead of everyday thoughts and activities. For example, if someone decided to give up sodas or If Church Needs To Be Canceled... If winter weather is ever severe enough to make us need to cancel church, we will notify television station WHSV-TV3 in Harrisonburg to announce the cancellation. Also, in the event that church is canceled because of severe winter weather, we will put a message on the church answering machine, so you can call the church office at The decision on whether to cancel church will be made by 9:00 a.m. In any case, please use common sense when we have severe winter weather, even if you don t see an announcement! Above all, be safe! If your own driveway or street or road is hazardous, please do not take any foolish or unnecessary risks. Sunday, Feb. 4 Annual Meeting of the Congregation following Morning Worship Sunday, Feb. 11 Transfiguration Sunday with the Lord s Supper celebrated during Morning Worship Tuesday, Feb. 13 Mardi Gras; Circles 1 & 2 meet at 1:30 p.m. in Fellowship Hall Wednesday, Feb. 14 Ash Wednesday, first day of Lent; Valentine s Sunday, Feb. 18 1st Sunday in Lent Sunday, Feb. 25 2nd Sunday in Lent Wednesday, Feb. 28 PEP Club, 1:00 p.m. soft drinks for Lent, they would take the money that would have been spent on those beverages, and use it to make an extra charitable contribution to the church or some other worthwhile cause. Also, every time one felt the desire for the beverage, it would be a reminder to think about God instead of our own wants and appetites; and to engage in prayer and devotional activities in the time we would have been drinking the beverage. Many cultures celebrate Carnival as a time for celebrations and parties before the self-denial and extra devotional acts of Lent. The last day of Carnival is Mardi Gras (literally, Fat Tuesday in French), which is the day before Lent begins. The idea is that if we are to deny ourselves for 46 days (Lent is 40 weekdays, plus six Sundays), let s have one last time of fat and plenty before the lean days ahead. The last Sunday before Lent begins is Transfiguration Sunday, which remembers Jesus commitment to going to Jerusalem to give his life to save humanity from sin and death. During Lent, we, too, are called to go on a spiritual journey which will culminate in the cross of Good Friday, and joy of resurrection on Easter Sunday. We are called to follow Jesus examples of humility, faith, and obedience as we proceed, and to commit ourselves more deeply to God as we prepare to observe and celebrate Easter. Pastor Frank
