Lent (Latin: Quadragesima, 'Fortieth') is a solemn religious observance in the Christian liturgical calendar that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends approximately six weeks later, before Easter Sunday. The purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer for Easter through prayer, doing penance, mortifying the flesh, repentance of sins, alms-giving, and denial of ego. (Wikipedia).
Every year the YMCA of Pamunugama organizes an event to help its members for such preparation. This year's Easter Meditation Programme was held at the YMCA of Pamunugama from 7.00 - 9.00 pm on 11 April, 2019.
Rev Fr. Nilantha Ranjula who is a young priest from the vicinity of YMCA of Pamunugama led the evening with prayer and sharing of the good news. Programme was consisted of opening prayer, sketch by youth, bible study in smaller groups, reflection by the priest and closing prayer with blessings. Around 80 YMCA members and neighbors attended the programme.
