Rev. T. J. FitzGerald and Rev. Beth Dana of First Unitarian Church of Dallas dive into the meaning and traditions of the Lenten season—a time of reflection, connection, and transformation. Lent isn’t just about giving something up; it’s about making space for something deeper. We explore the history of these 40 days, the significance of sacrifice and renewal, and the communal journey of spiritual growth. From personal stories of Lenten practices to the rituals of Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and beyond, we invite you to reflect on what this season means for you. Join us in exploring how Lent can be a time of meaningful change—not just for individuals, but for our whole community. How are you observing Lent this year? 

Tamara Murray will lead the service. 

Greeters: Bert Green and Gail Grob
