Lent and Easter with Youth and Young Adults

Lent and Easter are very rich times of year for the church and, therefore, are a rich time for teaching and experiencing the faith in a new way. These great 40 days of Lent offer us the gift of reconnecting or connecting with God in a new way as we pause, pray, refrain and give.

This time of year is also the time in which teenagers and many young adults have Spring Break, finals, tests, completing last minute applications, finding jobs for the summer, etc. These life events can be both joyous and stress-filled. Lent offers a lens with which one can approach life and can offer a respite in the midst of a busy life.
