Lent is a season for preparing our hearts and minds for Easter. Lent is forty days long, not including Sundays and begins on Ash Wednesday and includes Holy Week.
Historically, churches used Lent as a time to prepare for professions of faith and baptism, which would have taken place on Easter Sunday.
Additionally, Lent is a season for repentance, and it calls Christians to focus on our need for the grace of our Savior. Many people choose to fast during Lent, helping them commit to growing in their faithfulness.
As you plan for Holy Week and Easter services consider adapting one of the following resources for your own context. Resources at ReformedWorship.org and in our print/digital edition are free to use in worship contexts with acknowledgment.

This week began with the joyful sounds of “Hosanna!” but now the crowds cry “crucify.” Jesus was the ultimate servant, giving his life for the sake of the world. While the price to follow Christ might not be as high for us today, Christ made it clear that following him will cost each of us something. As Christ said, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it” (Luke 9: 23-24).
