The season of Lent is a 40-day period (not counting Sundays) of preparation for Easter, to reflect on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Lent begins with Ash Wednesday.

 

Immanuel Church will engage in a 24hr Prayer Vigil commencing with an Ash Wednesday service on 5th March 2025 at 7pm, and finishing on Thursday 6th March at 7pm.

 

Our focus will be to pray that Immanuel Church: “Identify & establish multiple pathways for people of all walks & ages to encounter the grace of Jesus.”

 

What to do?
